Charcoal 11b (part two)

[blakbeauty144]

You inspire me to draw with charcoal again! Personally I think pencil is easier to handle, but charcoal seems more creative (I don't know why) It's really admirable that you can talk and draw at the same time, I can never do that! I wish you the best with your arts.

[SolidSnake2345]

The face is too wide and not long enough. Look at the distance from the brow to the hair line and cheek to nose.

[CarlisseLiao]

@SolidSnake2345 i agree. the hair is too out as well. but he draws beautifully

[Beastofmayhem]

the undershadow of the lip makes it look like she has soul patch >.<

[DoctorLawyerWhatever]

The model's nose is wider, and the shadow line should be closer to her right eye.

[MrAguafiesta]

your a true inspiration lon,i feel lucky to have found your tutorials.talent and a true gent.

[xmoroseguyx]

I thought he drew the her eyes best, i agree with some other comments, That he did not get a true likeness of her, And that the quality of the video needed to be better, Still, A nice effort and some good advice.

[rickigr40]

what paper do you use for the charcoal?

[kenjok0008]

I thought I'm the only one who draws just a bit alike with my model... yours has a problem with the shape of the face

[kenkey89]

Thank you Lon for these wonderful drawings of pencils and charcoal. I would love to see more of your charcoal and pencil drawings in youtube. Hope you can upload more.Thanks again Lon. God Bless You

[papisNY]

always love your videos...please make it more..

thanks..you are the greatest..no one like you anymore

[lloydd08]

haha thats actully not that good if your trying to sell DVD

[gabyjumper]

I know you'll not take my advice in serious, but, you could make the face a lil bit longer.

[ShadowSlayer103]

7:07 to 7:24 , feel like that all the time...

[moneygob]

Some very good advice but in order to get as good as Lon you need to learn your tones and mentally visualise them then you need to know where they go for a certain pose and fixed light position. Then you can bang them in like Lon but it is very controlled.

[FunnyAnimatedNewb]

niceeeee portrait i wish i can draw like that xP with charcoal!

[Arqus88]

that is NOT her..it's just something that almost looks like her, but it's not. he gives quite good advice though

[tehpud]

Can you make a video on supplies?

[LaminaDieWills]

the guy is trying to teach a crowd, talk to a camera AND draw with as much attention as possible.

that is beyond difficult....artist need 2 things, attention to the object and the drawing they are creating. why dont you haters, try doing this, with many other eyes plus a camera crew and the thought that a few hundred thousand will be watching...im sure you would freeze, cry and do a runner!!

[fi7thy]

I love the negative comments from people on this man's ability. Yes, he's not the greatest out there, but i have yet to see any of you critical assholes post vids of your artistic ability, or lack thereof, on Youtube.

[yiyi2780]

Eyes too big nose too short, though not necessary the exact copy of the subject, still the drawing needs to catch the spirit of the subject which this drawing didn't.

[MultiListening]

you squished her face...

[lPSTutorialsl]

Good advice here!

[dzenishali]

darrel tank = amazing

[buckethead111]

the portrait looked nowhere like her though.

[shkico]

i totally agree

[jami3o14]

i agree too nothing like her

[0mrtn0]

great job

[richieNJ]

I liked the blend of the palm of your hand.

[richieNJ]

In the first video

[RLTromble]

I always found charcoal harder to draw with then pencil. Are willow vine easier to control then the compressed charcoal?

[girlkilbytc6]

lol, marked myself spam, I need help on the hair, can you make a video aboutit?

[Sugababy216]

Lon...that is fantastic....you do beautiful work! I draw portraits when the mood strikes me...I have always loved doing them....but I get really upset if they do not come perfect. I am a perfectionist. I would love to be as good as you and sell my work. Any tips? Kudos...Fantastic!!

[C00Lcat69]

great portrait too bad the woman is so fuckin ugly

[Damnation657]

she's not ugly...:(

[Sugababy216]

I think that comment is uncalled for...she is not ugly. But maybe your personality is! Ha!

[bidarra]

camon i draw much better and i am only 8 years old

[girlkilbytc6]

No you don't draw better, prove it

[AnimaLiNstinct625]

Lon...as a wildlife illustrator, your drawings have really opened a new 'can of worms' for me. I'm enjoying drawing people as well, which has expanded my talents as an artist.

Having said that, you also re-ignited a love for charcoal.

Your videos are an inspiration!

[johnhasaname]

Good work old man,I was looking for a medium that would work for me an think this will work well,to do sketch portraits,landscapes,etc... thank you sir.Love your work.

[littlepicassogirl07]

Okay. I tried not to too hard on my charcoal pieces. I spend on too much on details and it messing up my pieces.

Charcoal is a sketchy media. Thanks of the tip.

[sarecullen]

i like the way u use charcole, i cant handle it, i love painting there is so much more control in it i find, but i love to watch u work its so interesting

[123stilosa123]

bleah it is brutto!!! fa shifo!!! non centrA niente con la girl!!!

cambia mestiere

[OneCloudMind]

Thank you Lon; for sharing these videos with everyone. All your drawings are beatiful. You make it look so easy to create professional quality work. You inspired me to take up drawing as a second hobby. It's a great creative outlet to releave stress. The tips you give are excellent, you should really be proud of yourself for helping people. Thanks and God bless!

[lonhaverly]

Thank you so much for your encouragement and kind words. I needed that. God bless.

[vonhatenfeld]

I think her nose eye proportion wasn't 90 degrees but 85 nd mouth probably smaller. Just a technical opinion, but it's a great jot in the overview! Congratulations.

[DiscoBulb]

Damn. I never read the discription D8

SO sorry!!!!!!!!

[lonhaverly]

Thanks for the correction.  Next time I am producing a TV series, teaching a lesson, directing three cameras and drawing a portrait all at the same time, I will keep that in mind.

[DiscoBulb]

That is the best thing I have seen in. I love using charcoal. I like the fact it smudges , cos thats the effect I always seem to get with pencil too! Tahh man if that guy was about 40 years younger I would have a ,massive crush on him XD

[lonhaverly]

I love you too!

[sancho316]

great job spatially hair. i would really like if you could show how to do folds on clothing. (thanks)

[nikanj]

Great tip on knowing where to stop. She looks bored. I can't imagine trying to draw a live model, I really like to take my time and take breaks.

[markcambel]

awesome!!!!

i haven't seen anything like that!!!

great job!!!

[amalitta1969]

Excellent Maestro!

[kasumisman]

i think she more beautiful in ur drawing great job lon!

[lonhaverly]

Thanks!

[DukeStarbuckle]

Besides the lovely drawing, I'm shocked that he can talk and draw at the same time! That's like using both sides of the brain at the same time. Quite a talent. And watching this video has really helped me.

[CuteKitten321]

Dude...that's kooleos! Especially the hair. although, I don't like using charcoal cuz it smugges and sometimes that's frustrating. He's a good artist though.

[bloodytearz22]

Well done!
