Leo predominantly used indigo and bone ash. I'm confused as to why you didn't in a video about Leo's technique. I appreciate that you said in the video that it was an improvised method instead of Leo's method, but then why not title the video that way? Also, did Leo not use water to erase instead of a rubber? I'm so confused as how you can call this a Leo technique video. There is almost nothing of Leo's technique in it. He didn't even scrape out highlights or mistakes like the Norwegians did.
Yes ,you're right. Most of this materials are a fast method ,just to emulate Leonardo's techniques of drawing ,but on a superficial level . I've described that in the video. Once the skills are there ,l don't see a reason (just for the feeling sake) to go further. My video is a modern take .
You'll sell much more work copying the masters than you'll ever sell creating your own work. People would buy that drawing long before they'll buy some modern sketch
Indeed ,you're right ,l also do traditional recipes ,but this ones was done for people who don't have the time to actually prepare the rabbit skin glue. This is the modern take.

Your drawing definitely looks like a Leonardo! Compliments on the tutorial !
Perfect

Thanks fore the encouragement. l feel that ,although is half original ,this is what l love to do .
What should I practice first to get started
Egg shapes ,with some directional axis.
Rabbit skin glue mixed with chalk and a pinch of alum and you’ll have the real ground!
