At the classical academy in Florence, Italy, I learned how to use Nitram Charcoal. I could sharpen the sticks of different grades the B, HB and H, giving the necessary range to a fully develop drawing. Recently Nitram Charcoal came up with a Liquid Charcoal that I found useful for this charcoal drawing.

Music Intro "Another Toy" by Alex Keren
I am an aspiring caricaturist and I am studying and following your videos and learning tons that I have been applying to my drawing process. Thanks for sharing your gifts. Your ability to capture a likeness is what I am at awe of I watch your process and the way you hold your drawing pencil and just trying that helped me see proportions better.
Great video. I love the tip of using the sanding block. Thank you..
Cesar draws so directly, no indecision no halting steps. I imagine Sargent would have a similar approach based on looking at drawings from both artists. The ability to refine to any desired degree gives a lot of freedom to choose their desired approach. Cool video
Lovely and dedicated work! Thank you so much for sharing it with us! All the best, dear Cesar!
Absolutely amazing.... 👍
So stoked to see another video!
Love all you do! 😊 thank you 🙏🏽
I like that momentvar 2:26 when you put a smile on her face. With just a few marks she changed from worried to hapoy. Shows just how much pwer art has.
U r the best sir
I bought some liquid charcoal because of the last time you used it. Actually an interesting medium to work with . Your work is always amazing and inspiring.
Captivating!
Lovely as always .
always learn about your videos
So excited for this one! Can’t wait to watch it 🔥
Thanks so much for sharing these techniques
I can see how Sargent has influenced your style in this one, specifically right before the liquid charcoal step, in the hard lines of her clothing and shoulder facing the light, while her face looks so real she breathes. I didn’t know about the sanding block technique, but it makes sense and I can’t wait to try it and see the result. Thanks for the lesson, she’s beautiful. Peace.
Kev Quaid excellent observation. Agree there is an homage to Sargent in this one I think too. BTW there is a paperback book of Sargent drawings that is available, inexpensive and well worth it if you’re interested. I got it off Amazon
@@jeffhreid Can you tell me the name of the book?
This is fantastic I've been looking into the liquid charcoal. I've been using a mix of charcoal powder and acetone to create a 'paint' for my charcoal drawings
I dont mean to be offtopic but does any of you know of a method to log back into an instagram account..?
I somehow lost the login password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!
@Brixton Alijah instablaster ;)
@Rocco Steven thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Rocco Steven It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you really help me out!
@Brixton Alijah You are welcome =)
So cool to see you made some expressive portrait ! Remind me Casey Baugh charcoal portrait, love it !
Very good!!!!
I've considered using liquid charcoal. This helped me feel more comfortable with the idea. I'm loving the regular uploads. Maybe I'll do some experiments with it in a video soon.🙏🏻
Good job 👍👍👍👍👍
Love it man! I am going to need to dig out my charcoal this weekend.
It motivates and demoralizes me at the same time. You're too good... I'm 17 and I hope I can be on your level one day.
Corona Vitae check out Cesar’s sketchbook vlogs. He does one where he shows work from when he is in high school. The cover of that book has a self portrait taken from a driver license photo, that should help you find the right vlog. Anyway, the point is his work in high school was no better than most teenagers. He simply put in a ton of effort and learned excellent technique as well as studied and made copies of master works.
I am sure you can achieve similar level of proficiency given commitment and practice. Good luck , cheers
Nitram charcoal is a bit more expensive but is so consistent and is very fine quality. I highly recommend it
grande cesarr
charcoal my favorite to work in. I work in it daily. Ive heard of the liquid stuff and I definitely will get it cuz I need too! (if that makes sense? lol) but it looks awesome to work in. kinda interesting how you just started with small amount, I see, anyway great video :) !
Maéstro ojala pudiese ser uno de sus amigos contigo aprendería un monton también pinto y solo de seguirlo e omprendido muchas cosas en la figura humana
Another great video! Could you talk more about using a sanding block? How does this compare to a stump or tortillon? Can you lift out highlights with an eraser in an area you have sanded?
impressive, keep posting videos
Good morning!!!!!
🌟🎨👏😎
Fantastic drawing Cesar, and fascinating to see your approach. Did you say you use a sanding pad to blend the tone?
💞💞💞💞💞
Thank you
Hey, Milwaukee Brewers!!! :)
Cesar, if you are ever able to make it to Milwaukee after all this is over, you should check out the Milwaukee art museum! It's a really cool-looking building and there's some nice art there too for inspiration.
Interesting stuff liquid charcoal. Pity I cannot allow myself to buy more art supplies at the moment😄
Edze Jan de Haan I wish I had such control. Just received my second shipment 😭😭
Did you take measurements like we humans do? Or you just draw....Great Art
Does the liquid charcoal erase well after it dries?
hi cesar, how long do you wait to close your sketchbook after an oil study
, its possible to close it on the same day
If you could put up the values of the nitram charcoal you use on screen, it would be 1000× helpful. Thank you Cesar!
when did you use the liquid charcoal...only saw you using nitrate stick charcoal?????
jetsonjoe I believe he used it in the beginning a bit and at the end
Hey First!
So basically liquid charcoal is just for back grounds?
Lion you.
The best video.
If I like it l will be forever young.
Este video lo tiene en español
Can somebody who already tried that medium liquid charcoal, is like Russian sauce?
Lu Vill it seems more like a gauche. Only seen one person use Russian sauce before (in Landscape artist of the Year) to me it seems like that.
hahha of this piss right here :D legend
I came to hear him rap at the end of video.....
Is anyone else finding that the Nitram charcoal looks a little brown on some paper?
