@odedonn39124 years ago Love it! I’m still learning my way with charcoals and thanks to you I’m gonna try using a soft brush for the blending/softening of the charcoals. This drawing has a great calming effect - thanks for sharing. Big 👏 from Tel Aviv ...

@rolfarnquist83432 years ago Hi Jeff,
Thank you so much for doing these videos. Love your style. So distinctive and beautiful!
I do have two questions for you… <br />- Do you do these drawings standing up at an easel or sitting down on a table or easel?
- What type of paper (brand, weight and smooth or rough surface) do you use to create these beautiful drawings?
Again, thank you for doing these wonderful videos. ...
@

@BGrammstein4 years ago Hi, Jeff! Do you spray with a fixative inbetween the different phases of the drawing? I've noticed that when you blend the charcoal with your brush it doesn't move around much. Great video as always! 2
@

@rebeccavaughan36153 years ago I'm staring and I had no clue about charcoal. What spray do you use ? Your amazing! You make it look easy. 😊✍
@

@paigeme8864 years ago Your work is absolutely beautiful and definitely did come together in the end!! If it's not too difficult, I would love to see a onager video with voice over. May I ask, do you have a favourite paper? Or does it vary? Thank you so much for sharing. Oh and thank you also for providing a link to the reference photo- I always find it so helpful and interesting seeing it! ... 3

@deletioninducedin7days9194 years ago Do you think that willow charcoal can substitute for the soft vine charcoal?
@

@stbuddha35473 years ago Hi about the charcoal pencil.. is it soft because I have one but as soon as I apply it on the paper it's difficult to erase.. can you explain more about what type of charcoal pencil your using? And why if it's also soft as the vine charcoal. Thank you! ...
@

@Chiewere4 years ago Dear Sir! When somebody has never ever used charcoal, what kind of task would be useful first (to draw a cube, a sphere etc.) You have mentioned, your charcoal is soft, and what kind of paper is usable? Are there any steps for charcoal technic? I mean first to draw the darkest areas and so on, maybe the charcoal a little different like the pencil. ...
@

@Arani.4 years ago hey jeff i want to tell you that i started using charcoal by getting inspired by you... and i'm finding it very difficult to control the charcoal.. and an ending up making a mess... i feel like the medium is controlling me instead.
do you have any tips for making controlling charcoal? ...
@

@omfgacceptmyname4 years ago at when you are using the soft brush to blur the initial value sketch, how hard are you pressing? does the direction of your movement matter? what kind of brush is this? ... 1
