I’m not sure how many of you are interested in charcoal, but I’m giving some of my tips/methods in this video in case some of you are looking to try or revisit it! More a video suited for beginners but it’s also just fun😄

I am hopeless with charcoal....or maybe just too impatient. Having said that, I have most of those pencils in my collection. 😂 Love the flower, it turned out so pretty! 💜

I know what you mean, I sometimes am not patient enough for them but then on the other hand if I want something that isn't so precise, charcoal is tons of fun! And thank you!🌹💙

Besides charcoal being a little messy- it’s sooo fun to work with! Those erasers are fun to play with 😆! Such a cool texture! I need to brand out my charcoal collection. The tissue works so well at blending it out smoothly 👏🏻!! Dang charcoal dust LOL 😂😫! I loveee tulips 🌷! Charcoal definitely speeds up shading in bigger areas 🙌🏻! Soft and extra soft versions of the charcoal pencils work so well for this 😍! Nice demonstration and tips 👍🏻💗!! Makes me want to get my charcoals back out. ✨✨

I agree, it is messy but fun! I think that it is honestly kind of freeing to use because you can work a little faster and not worry about every little detail at first. Lot's of fun to work with! Thank you for watching💙

I just picked up some charcoal pencils the other day so this is great timing. I noticed they also had a white charcoal pencil, I'm assuming for highlights. Have you ever used the white one?

@AlexisCassandraArt 3 жыл бұрын

That's great, I hope you have fun playing around with them! The white one is a bit tricky, it works great on toned or black paper but if you're just using it with the regular charcoal on white paper, it will great sort of a grey tone when layered on top. You can get highlights by layering more but they aren't too bright. It helps to smooth out the charcoal though and create tones:)

I actually use the hard one to do my under drawing so there is nothing to erase later and it erases well. Just a thought. Great video and great drawing. Subbed. Edit: you forgot to tell people they need to spray fixative on the final drawing so it doesn’t smudge all over the preceding page.

@AlexisCassandraArt 3 жыл бұрын

That’s smart! I stopped buying hard charcoal pencils because I kept getting really scratchy defective ones. I have a good cretacolor hard pencil though and may just use that. And good point about the fixative!

@AlexisCassandraArt 2 жыл бұрын

I haven't used those before! Are they overly scratchy? If not, then they probably are good! Charcoal is just a bit difficult to get used to and it doesn't go down smooth. If you want a smoother pencil, try cretacolor oil based charcoal

@tacowolf9623 2 жыл бұрын

@@AlexisCassandraArt they’re 4 dollars and most of the reviews were positive saying they were good beginner pencils on amazon i don’t think they’re scratchy but they do feel heavy in the hand when drawing with them

Sounds like you’re lifting the charcoal! It lifts super easy. You can use a better paper to help prevent it but you can also try using a fixative if you’d like to keep any charcoal from smearing or lifting on finished artwork!
