Ur approach to drawing using the shapes in the negative space is exactly how I approached drawing ever since I started as a kid!! I think this is why I love your videos 🫶🏻

Sarah, I enjoyed a lot watching and listening to your video, so deep, honest, insightful and encouraging. Thank you ❤️

Very helpful. Thank you. I’m a beginner so the video length was perfect as is

I’m drawing but I’m drawing a different pose

Looooove these long ones , esp for those who draw along with you, a half hour is fab! Really rnjoying these draw alongs and chats, i get a lot out of it. Perhaps u cud even show how u use AI to get the right reference images. Im pretty computer literate but havent tackled Ai at all yet, so cud make a good video! But yesm just love these long ones, more please!😊❤

Love your art and your videos! Didnt get the link for so e reason to win one , im probably too late but how lovely of u to do that! Best of luck with it all, i love all ypur talks on how u found ypur way, its so helpful to a newbie like me lol!❤😊

Thank u for your video and messages, it was super helpful for a newish drawer, thank u! Love your work, just ordered a pan pastel to tey it out. I love the wildness in your work, sometimes drawing can take u down a hole past your initial intention, and this seems a way of keeping it real and not getting lost in detail. Thank u for that!❤

This is one of the best videos I've seen in ages.

Hi Sarah, as someone who has been creatively blocked for many years now maybe producing only 5 drawings I have been happy with - I THANK YOU SO MUCH for your wonderful advice and inspiring me to start (without expectations) drawing again - Happy 2025 Sarah! 🙏

I'm on a similar journey to yourself and I really enjoy watching and listening to your videos 😊

😎 cool

Strange thing is I used to have little patience for the new jersey accent

I like the accent. With any luck the drawing is good too.

I don’t think you need to do anything different! Just keep being you, we are all here because of you!

I started drawing earlier in the summer, as a 41 year old dude, with no background. I find myself so drawn to gesture charcoal drawings for exactly the reasons you stated. The simple fact that details aren't completely filled in allows the viewer to fill them in themselves, and connect more personally.

I've been trying to focus on gesture drawing and really having trouble showing the movement and not making the figures look stiff. I'm looking forward to trying it this way. Recently I tried using a graphite sticks and just tried to draw the shadows of the form and nothing else and no lines. Did 1-2 minute sketches. It actually came out kinda cool, but as soon as I try to add detail that sense of motion goes away. Thanks.

Nice drawing and gesture !

The tips you gave are gold! I love the tip about not drawing "somebody" to give the potential buyer something he can project onto! Also your videos are great and I'm excited for more in the future! 🙂

This is amazing! I love your style. I watched the entire video and still couldn't figure out how you do this. Thanks for sharing! Liked and Subbed

Your work is amazing as inspiring, I would enjoy learning to create and express the way you do.

❤❤

So beautiful! I love expressive portrait art… I’ve been wanting to use my pan pastels and charcoal in this way. What is the large sponge you were using when you began the portrait?

It's mesmerising watching you create these pieces.

Love your work! And the principal of anonymity in work alluded me until now. Novel idea! I think it also helps to maintain a more looseness in the work as well. Never needing to define marks. Thank you kindly!

Love ❤ your workshop

So interesting Sarah 🥰

Another great piece of art, Sarah. There was one point that you touched upon in your narration that really resonated with me. Anonymity. I always feel so much more attached to a portrait of someone I don't know. Admittedly, there are some amazing portraits out there of well-known people, but I can only ever see them from a technical perspective. In as much how close to the likeness the painting/drawing is to the real life person. I always get distracted by that and quite often I'm left feeling quite cold emotionally. When you see a portrait like the one in the video, it makes you delve into the portrait with your own emotions and that's where interpretations of the person really comes to life. I'm not too sure if that makes any sense to you. I think, ultimately, I find drawings of famous people are maybe a little clichéd from an artistic point of view. Like I say, there are some magnificent ones out there, but I find attaching myself emotionally to them very difficult. I do hope more people discover your channel because they're hugely inspirational.

hi sarah, this is super cool, your stories are very motivating. keep sharing! i started putting my charcoal art on instagram recently, doing a recon mission i.e. advertising :)

Hi Sarah, I can relate to your words. I recently retired and picked up paper and charcoal > trying to get unblocked as we speak. And loving the proces. Keep it up. I will follow.

Thank you for this. Our backgrounds are different, but the big picture is the same, no pun intended. I am 45yo and just got diagnosed this year. When I was young, in my teens, drawing gave me a feeling I couldn't describe, but I remember that it was the perfect way to focus and calm my mind. When drawing, I felt the confidence I could never replicate in my regular life. Because of my culture, I never even imagined that my issues were due to ADHD. Life happened to me, and it did not go well. I stopped drawing for many, many years. Fast forward to now and understanding my symptoms along with medication, and one day I sat down to draw, just out of boredom or some other feeling. Suddenly it comes rushing back....that feeling of calm. Exactly as you said "the noise in my head just stopped". I sent this video to my wife because she sometimes feels that I draw instead of spending time with her or just do it too much. I could never explain why I need it and hopefully your video will help. Of course my skill level is low and about 25 years out of practice. I don't know if I can ever be good enough to pursue art as anything more than a hobby, although I have been practicing and trying to get better and make up for my lack of natural talent. Hearing the things you said give me a bit of hope as well. Maybe with hard work, I can get good enough to sell my art. In any case, I am glad I found this. Good luck in everything!

what size is this? and it looks like most of your work is same size?

Ah for crying out loud do something original for your channel. Copying Madcharcoal guy. Lame
