How to Combine Graphite Powder, Pencil, and Charcoal in Drawing

[@armadaliuart]

Everything is so slow and I don't have enough time for everything. I was so busy with Christmas music arrangement for my schools orchestra and barely had time for drawing. Hope the video meets your expectations and don't forget to subscribe. Thank you so much guys!☺️

Wonderful teacher! Great inspirations! Charcoal and Chalk are my favorite mediums also. With charcoal being the best. I love it. SUBSCRIBED.

I’ve been wanting to play around with mixing charcoal and graphite but wasn’t sure how to go about it. You explained and demonstrated things very well and I feel more confident in trying it. I love the music and your art is beautiful! Thank you!

[@i_McFly]

absolutely incredible. Are all of these portraits from reference or just self created?

[@armadaliuart]

Because I want realism, I always use photo reference for my drawing.

[@jojones7474]

I absolutely love your work, it’s stunning! Can I ask what type of led you had in your mechanical pencil and what paper you are working on? Thanks for all the time you put into your videos, I really appreciate it 😊

[@armadaliuart]

Hi, thank you so much! It's 4B from Uni Nano Dia. The paper in this drawing is Canson 1557 smooth drawing paper. ☺️☺️

[@jojones7474]

Thank you 😊

[@jonavievailoces4505]

Hi! When using charcoal pencil/powder is it required to use smooth paper? Thank you

[@armadaliuart]

Not required, both are doable. But I find that rougher paper works the best unless you want hyper realism.

[@kylianrb7283]

Ooh, zo mooi! ❤Muziek is ook prachtig. Is de tekening van een foto of is het een zelfbedacht portret?

[@armadaliuart]

Thank you so much for the appreciation. I always use photo as reference.

[@artplussk_222]

very nice demo. still it would be better if background music was sofer than the voice.

[@armadaliuart]

Thank you so much for the input. 🙏🏻
