I hear ya on the use of black. He did pull it off though Been having good luck with Derwent burnt umber p540. It's the darkest dark I've found in pastel pencil with out going black. Good luck to Stephane. It's fun watching new blood, He has an admirable boldness. I will be on the square mid june (for 2 weeks) with a pocket full of SD cards!
@EraserKneaded Frame it ASP:once a drawing is framed (with a mat;the glass should never touch the surface of the drawing)there is nothing to fear.At Montmartre we generally use 'crystal paper' (fine,translucent paper with a grease-proof quality) for temporary protection.Charcoal work should always be protected with fixative.Hair spray is an old trick but pro sprays are better;soft pastel should also be fixed if its been thickly applied.I don't usually fix graphite work unless 6B+
Part 2: Posting for a 2nd time, Davy. The 1st time it posted somewhat strangely with repeating words As for you, my friend, I'm so THANKFUL that you're conscientious enough to get those close-up shots of Stephane drawing by focusing in on what's taking place on the paper and ignoring those distracting peripherals. It really helps those who are learning how to draw with understanding the techniques Stephane used. You even devoted a portion of the video to the materials he used!
Part 1: You know, Davy, I was oh so close to writing to you to alert you that it was about time to post another video:0) Checking your channel for the second time today, I was pleasantly surprised when I noticed that had posted another vid! All I can say is woo-hoo! I think Stephane passes this video test with flying colors. I like his style of highlights and choice of colors for this magnificent portrait. I hope he passes the tests Montmatre demands of him so he can work there permanently.
@EraserKneaded Hi, I'm Stéphane Plouviez, thank you for your encouragements. I read comments, I am French but try to write in English. I am not at the moment on the place. It is about one of my first portraits in color on this place.

Hola. ¿Alquien puede decirme que tipo de papel se usa y que tipo de lapices son adecuados?. Que es papel "cristal". Soy aficionado y no consigo hacer lo mismo que en el video. No consigo superponer capas encima, una tras otra (tal como sale en el vídeo). Con el lápiz, no consigo pintar colores "claros" sobre fondos "oscuros". Alguien puede aconsejarme???. Muchas gracias.
@yvadmil "In future I'm going to try,when possible, to include info about the materials artists have used in the creation of the portraits." Davy, that's an excellent idea!! The more I know the more I can progress. All of us who follow would love to see this! All the best to you my friend ~ Tom
@cardellacole4 I did my first portrait in London in 1981.We used to work in a tiny square behind the National portrait gallery,on charing cross road.There was a statue of Henry Irving in the middle of the sq.It was a really close knit group of artists:we eat, got drunk and partyed together: insane,wonderful days...I have a wole bunch of photos that could be used as the basis for a video.The current crop of portraitists hang out in leicester sq. in front of what used to be the empire ballroom.
A big thank to everyone for the positive feedback..I have been trying to upload this vid for 5 days.You tube have given me the green light to upload vids that go beyond the normal 15 minute limit,but this one simply refused to upload until I trimmed it to 2 gigabytes.Stephane is young.He has a raw talent but he will get better and better if he works permenantly at Montmartre.It will be interesting to make another vid of him in a couple of years time!
@shysterlicious Hi Tom,In future I'm going to try,when possible, to include info about the materials artists have used in the creation of the portraits.Actually,I think Stephane uses too many different pencils,and I would advise against his use of black in the construction stage of drawing the face in a colour drawing:it creates a nasty grey stain when smudged and is difficult to get rid of.
@EraserKneaded When I get some time I'd like to go back to London to trace the person I consider the best portraitist I have had the privilege to work with.If I can find 'Tony' and film him in action ,adding some of the old photos it would make an awesome video.
@EraserKneaded Je ne sais pas, je l'espère en tout cas. J'attend effectivement une réponse de la mairie de Paris, tout en continuant à exposer sur le Bassin d'Arcachon.
@cardellacole4 I passed by leicester sq a year ago,but I didn"t see anyone from the good old days.I am actually better known as 'Dave' than Davy,and that goes for la place du tertre too.If you drop the name yvadmil, noone will know who the hell you are talking about! I think the "statue'pitch is defunct,noone uses it any more. The police used to turn a blind eye there....but maybe not these days
Nice ,something different,I like it so much
Part 3: Finally, I just want to conclude by saying that you have created yet another GREAT video and all I can say is: WE WANT MORE! :0)

@heirihunziker Merci. Quel avantage décisif? Etes-vous aussi artiste à Montmartre?

@heirihunziker Effectivement, je suis aussi caricaturiste. Je suis autodidacte et j'ai appris sur le terrain, c'est la meilleure formation.
good!

Au contraire, travailler sous les yeux de Davy, que j'admire, m'a motivé.
