Sometimes you will have to be an artist to appreciate the beauty that a person posseses.

[@who7839]

Well said

[@greekveteran2715]

True but I can't stand the "S" that drills my ears..

[@Aka-wy7iw]

I just love how she tells the things she does! Especially the last part,I always look at the drawing after a day and go like...maybe I could do it a bit better here! So yes,that truly helps a lot!

[@deborahfraser1336]

Kirsty is a genius artist as well as a great teacher.

[@christineingram55]

Beautifully done and well explained thank you .She is a really Gorgeous subject ,I can see why you chose her all the shadows and gradients are almost perfect on her 😀

[@loveskating4eva]

Lol “this first stage is not about including a lot of detail” girl that’s more detail than anything I will ever do will ever have 🤣

[@moparmaniac56]

This series couldn't have come at a more perfect time. I had just started a 4 part charcoal series when you uploaded the first part and it helped out so much

[@undeadwerewolves9463]

You are so incredibly gifted! You are one of the greats! And you deserve so much more recognition for your skills! You explained how you do the skin shading really well thank you!

[@soap4780]

Hello, i’m a new subscriber here. I am quite young and love everything about art and wish to become an artist.
Your videos and techniques help me SO much and i’ve got so much better already!
I just want to say thank you and continue to do what you do! You are such a help to my interest in art. ❤️

[@jcepri]

What an excellent tutorial. You do such an amazing job of both explaining and demonstrating. And I love how you show the reference photo at the same time. Many artists don't do that so you can't see if there's a likeness or not. I'm glad you smoothed out the blemishes. They seemed too harsh, almost chicken pox. It looked much better after. Great job!

[@donnawalter3061]

Great video kirst, looks just like a photo, well done sweetheart 👍🥰😘

[@JohnDoeBaylonArt]

Perfect timing!! I am also currently doing a charcoal drawing right now 😍 talk about multi tasking hahaha

EDA101 I wasn't good at realism either until I became a patreon of Kirsty's and my art changed DRAMATICALLY.

[@hoodhussin908]

Thank you! This was really helpful I’ve been on the fence about switching to charcoal from graphite and this video made me realize how amazing charcoal is and made my decision definitive.

Hello Kirsty, nice video and very thorough yet easy to understand explanation! Could you please upload a video about drawing beard with charcoal? I know it's like hair, but a little more complex, so I 'd like to see your approach. Keep up the great work! 😀

you can try to improve by using different methods! For example, the grid method is very helpful for beginners. It helps a lot with proportions.
