In this video I show you how to use graphite powder. There are 2 types of acetone-one is for removing nail polish and the other is for industrial purposes. CAUTION: don't get it in your eyes, and It is flame-able so don't use it next to a flame or with gas in the air (i.e., from a stove or water heater). Make sure to ave good ventilation and consider wearing a mask while spraying it.
I want to share with YOU my personal favorite tools that I love drawing with to help you get started.

on a side note...I get mini paint cups/jars and mix the powder Graphite with water and paint with it. Some nice effects that you can also draw on top of after it dries.
Thanks for a very useful demo. I haven’t messed with charcoal powder in forever, may have to play around
you bet, thanks for the the best comments :)
Acetone was the answer I was looking for!! Thanks
Awesome!! Thank you very much!
Hey Chris, love your videos.. and of course your art. Thanks for your instruction!
Glad you like them!
They make cans that you pump up by hand and it sprays such a gentle mist.
Very interesting tutorial.
I'm wondering if you could tell me about the portrait in the opening presentation. What is the yellow you colored around the eye with ?
Fantastic demo. Cheers! The charcoal seems to respond to the brush better than the graphite. Also, you breathing appears to be compromised. I hope you are OK. PS> I don't suppose there's a way to fix the dense powder left at the end?
Simplemente espectacular! 😍👍😘
Thanks so much, gracias!
Palabras perfectas!
I have always wondered what artists spray on their charcoal artworks. Thanks for this video!! I’m curious about what type of paper you use. It looks so smooth.
Strathmore 80 lb charcoal paper. It does have a smooth-ish finish
very cool thanks for the demo👍
You are welcome! Thanks for the feedback!!
Thank you!
This is so cool! I'm inspired!
Yes! have fun!!
I second James Blackwolf’s question. Have you found a way to use a solvent to paint the charcoal out smoothly, especially to create a very dark field?
Superb video, thank you.
mix it with the solvent into small batches of different values (less solvent will be darker and more will be lighter etc.) like you would do with watercolor. Then lay a flat wash down just like watercolor. If you can handle watercolor then this will be a snap.
DRAW JUICE Chris Petrocchi Thanks very much for the reply. Yes, I can handle that. And thanks for so freely sharing your experience.
@@NMranchhand you bet my man!
try using a water soluble graphite to paint with if you want more control of values and detail
Really interesting, thanks. Would this technique work on canvas?
I think it would but the texture would be more course and harder to control. It depends how much texture is on the canvas. Smoother is better
Hi what kind of camera do you use for the video. Thanks for all your instructions
I used a Canon 70D and an iphone 8
What is the mic that you use in your videos?
Tried it after several months of trying to find acetone that does the actual thing. It needs to be 99% pure acetone that I could only find in local, I guess english word is, drug store. Nail polishers and those kinda acetone mixtures does not work. Thank you for showing your process!
Thomas thank you for your input. Do you have a link to an Acetone product that you recommend?
Was offline...heh. It´s pure medical acetonum that comes in medical glass bottle 1000ml amount. It has testing date and retesting date on it and it says it is highly famable. It´s 50 HRK per 1000ml, about 8$. And it´s the only thing that make that awesome bubble spots of no charcoal when applied. Those turpe...whatever are pricey buggers with shipment price attached to Europe,Croatia.
Thank you so much for sharing, really helpful tips. I use alcohol sometimes. I’m really interested in the type of brush you are using. Do you mint to tell me the brand.
I think that you will find acetone that’s pure and cheap at the hardware store. It’s used to clean greasy surfaces before painting and welding, and as a general purpose solvent where they sell paint
This is awesome
N-95 is best
Is the graphite flakes size of around 15 nanometers
How do you keep graphite drawings protected in between sessions so it wouldn't smudge? Especially if I want to store it away.
While I'm working on it, between sessions, I will put a piece of paper over it and then s couple of heavy books that won't move easily if it gets bumped. After it's done I spay it with workable fixative or Crystal Clear and put it in a portfolio with clear pages
Well here's the thing, I need to use my desk for other things while working between sessions. I know rolling it up and storing in a tube will make the paper curve. What about hanging on a wall?
that could work if you used thumbtacks so the holes won't be too noticeable. or put it in an oversized picture book if you have one
Use fixtive
Where can I get the large Generals charcoal? Everywhere Ive looked its out of stock.
Try online :)
Hi- what brand of brush are you using. Thanks.
I don't know the brand but it is a Chinese watercolor brush
Thanks
Welcome
Does the acetone damage the paper?
not that I can tell. however, it may not be archival
Hello, What kind of paper did you use ?
Strathmore 400 series probably 80lb
Can you mixe it with water to use it on yupo paper?
I don't know, please try it and let me know what happens
@@ChrisPetrocchi I did and it works awesome. Very little water with a spoonful of powder charcoal. I use it on yupo paper. It's Amazing
@@elenatoledo9722 Oh that's great thanks for the feedback!
@@ChrisPetrocchi You're very welcome .
Then spray with fixitive?
yes, or, you can spray with Krylon Crystal clear for a more permanent barrier
But it doesn't make effects like wet, dreamy
Where can I find odorless turpenoid or any sobstitute in Italy ? Even online it seems impossibile
What to spray? Alcohol or water ??? I am Iranian, write their names for me
Acetone
@@ChrisPetrocchi thank youuu❤️
You kidding me “clogging up my nasal passages 😅” haven’t you heard about black lung disease 🏥🤕🤒
After completing of work if you will spray it will damage your work and strokes 😑
spray it lightly for the first oat with Spray Fix. Then do 2 more each one a bit heavier
Lambança.
Acetone worked..... Terpenoid ....no so much.
right!
