    Excellent demonstration of the tools. Best that I've seen.

    Really useful video, packed with helpful information. Thank you Zin, we are big fans! I now have a jar for sanding charcoal pencils into - before I was doing it straight into the bin! I also didn't realise that a longer blade helps prevent lead breakages

      Pencil powder won't be easily erased with eraser. So I collect charcoal powder only.

    Hi, sensei!!! I have a question, aside from "general charcoal" what charcoal brand would you like to recommend?

    • @zinlimart
      @zinlimart  4 роки тому

      sharpened Nitram charcoal sticks.

    Great video. Question. I've started using charcoal and learning. What do you do with loose dust on your drawing? I blow mine away. Then start coughing because of dust in air. Also what do you use as a fixative and or can I use one? Thank you so much. ☺

    • @zinlimart
      @zinlimart  5 років тому +1

      I don't blow but let them drip. And use workable fixative.

    • @renzo6490
      @renzo6490 5 років тому

      Zin Lim ..”let them drip”?
      Drip usually refers to liquid things.
      Do you ever use a soft brush to remove excess dust?

  • @lovelycorinne
    @lovelycorinne 4 роки тому +2

    Do you have a brand for that blade. I can’t seem to find one since I first watched this video.

  • @miaa1762
    @miaa1762 4 роки тому +1

    I have a question. Why don't you trust what the pencil label says the grade of charcoal is within it? Is there a specific reason for dealing with the company, or just your own preference?

    • @zinlimart
      @zinlimart  4 роки тому

      Each General HB pencil has different darkness and hardness.

    Hi Zin, I really like your style and your videos have helped me a lot. However, I bought willow charcoal (artist's loft) and it just seems to scratch the paper and not be very good. The willow charcoal you have seems so easy to put down and to take off the paper. Have you ever had any problems with your charcoal? The only way I can get the general's brand of the jumbo willow charcoal is through amazon and I just want to be sure it will different if I order some.

    • @zinlimart
      @zinlimart  6 років тому

      I doubt about the tool if it is really willow, not compressed or chunky charcoal. You can send me your work image to zinlim@gmail.com for me to tell.

  • @davidhu3829
    @davidhu3829 4 роки тому

    How do you reserve your charcoal drawing? Could you do a video showing how do that? Do you use fixative to spray? How many times are sufficient and how do you know?

    • @zinlimart
      @zinlimart  4 роки тому +2

      I spray fixative by the spray bottle draw big circles in the air. Start spraying light and continue doing it until no charcoal is apart from drawing. You can find many of useful 'how to spray fixative' videos at You Tube.

      Any cheapest knife at hardware store, discount stores or Daiso is fine.

    • @zinlimart

      +ernestito2222
      I used willow that seems very similar to nitram.

    Sometimes, idk how correct this is, I use a cheap metal sharpener that the left over stuff falls out of over the paper and use it as charcoal powder.
