Always wanted to take his class. i would hear him lecturing while I was in another room. Maybe when i go back for my masters ill take his class.

Don't know why I keep watching this!!! Fascinating!!

[Creationcreed]

I think he started with the eyes, that is what I usually do, then measure from there. This guy is great!

[conchitamartinez1]

dude can draw!!!

[kellapitter]

He is definitely using compressed charcoal. The brand depends on the individual artist.

I believe he covered the surface with the side of his charcoal stick (might be 4b) then wiped it with a towel for that soft look.

Hes probably using faber castel pitt, or General Charcoal... Maybe 4b.... could be just b.... doesnt really matter though when structuring... as long as you dont dig into the paper like a caveman!
