The way he draws, using fingers without hesitation, is so amazing. I even got a little teared up after watching this video! It reminds me of my long abandoned passion for pencil drawing,. How it got disapproved by my grandma just because it had nothing to with my academic performance (I'm from Asian culture btw), also how my obsession for accuracy made me unable to draw each time I finished a piece. I got tired of being so careful, and yet, couldn't dare to throw the obsession away to allow myself to express freely. Thanks for sharing this. So glad to have watched this.
Shawn, I rarely comment EVER. I feel the pain in yours. I'm hoping you continue to try. Art can be therapeutic - painful and healing. Don't give up. You have the strength.
I keep seeing this, and it continues to amaze me. I am doing a masters in fine art and am using your tutorials to help me. I hope by summer my great grandmothers charcoal portrait would have improved!
„Come to live“ this is just a show effect... this looks definitely outstanding or magic for ppl who doesnt studied or train their knowledge in art, but this „style“ to draw is not impressive for people who went in a art university or something. Sounds hard but every official art university would reject him, if he has only this kind of pictures in his portfolio
I've been drawing and painting on and off for over 40 years. Even professionally doing scenic work for several theater companies. But have never had any instruction. This video after watching it about 10 times has had a profound effect on my work ! Thank you very much josh. ✌
I haven’t drawn in years and I came across your videos! I have recently got back into sketching and just getting that “itch” to create back! And it’s all thanks to your videos and work! You make great content and thank you for the boost! 😊❤
I appreciate the commentary on the process. Painting with charcoal. I'm self-studied. There was a gap I couldn't breach in regards to painting and rendering with just tone alone. You helped me make that connection. Thanks.
Wow, that was absolutely amazing!! From your initial steps, to watch this come to life by the end was unbelievable, and you made it look so easy. I am in awe. Thank you.
Hi Josh, I've always loved the way charcoal looked and you made want to try it again. Thanks to you (and a friend who got me a cool charcoal kit for my birthday) I'm back at it ! Thank you for your work and videos, you're a real inspiration! :)
You are an inspirational artist. Thank you. I have bought supplies and am beginning to use the lessons you have posted to begin creating with charcoal. Previously, I've painted with acrylics but have always been curious about charcoal art. Your channel has excited my curiosity. Thanks. And keep sharing, please.
Shawn I can relate to you’re comment. Art was my favorite subject as a young girl. Sadly it always took a back burner to math & science. It’s still hard mentally to give myself permission to put it on the front burner. But I do. 👌
Hello mad charcoal, Thx for sharing al Your experience. Your art is mágical and comes to life. I have One question, how do you protect Your art Work?? I cover my acrylic praints with coating. Greatings from Holland
Hi Josh. I'm just getting motivated to get back at drawing again, I'm 52 years old now and haven't touch a 4B pencil in almost thirty years! Been too busy and basically lost my desire for art. By chance I came across your channel and have gotten a spark/inspiration to begin again. What advise would you give to a rusty "artist" at this stage. I'm very impressed by your tutorials and I'm will to begin again! Keep doing what you do!!
Really inspirational Josh, thank you. I practiced a few portraits on paper, then jumped to a full wall portrait in my bedroom. I will try to email you a photo.. Leon
Love your videos! Its inspiring how you use so many different tools and techniques for charcoal. I have one question though, on 5:50 what artist was mentioned? :)
That turned out so awesome. How can you stand the feeling of the charcoal all over your hands though? Smudging with my fingers is like the equivalent of fingernails on a chalkboard for me. 😂
Love it!! It sort of looks like much older, haggard version of Jesus, or maybe Paul (if compared with what is artistically shown Jesus and Paul to look like)
Thanks for the video. Great work. What is the paper that you were using? Thanks in advance. Hope that sausages (and beer) tasted good after the video shoot.
Great work. Really inspiring. Do you always work from photographic reference or from imagination while doing portraits? Forgive me if you have mentioned , I'm both forgetful and new to your channel
I feel like I did in Trig class...like someone was messin" with me when they solve a Trig problem using Trig tools. I could not help but believe that in the end the solution was met, but the magic in the middle....who knows?
No offense, but EVERY artist who went in a art university or art classes know that THIS is just a show effect for ppl with an untrained eye for art. He try to show us that hes making something out of nothing, but this is truly not the case, this is just a messy scribble way to draw. I dont say that hes untalented, but he is like a typical self taught artist. You can hate me now with senseless comments like „maybe you should try to draw, show us :((„ but atleast i got arguments. As someone who did his art Uni degree in germany and his master in 2d and 3d art in canada, i can say that this portfolio would ne reject in EVERY official art university.
Way to use your terminology, as you explain what you're doing. It really help me with understanding what those words mean. Always had a hard time understanding them, until visual seeing it.
What a great watch. Loved how the image revealed itself as you worked on it.

Greasy sausages had me wondering for a second until I got it. Thanks for making me chuckle. That takes a lot in these days of idiocracy.
This reminds me of Wim Hoff. Amazing person. Thank for sharing this. Beautiful work as always :)
I keep seeing this, and it continues to amaze me. I am doing a masters in fine art and am using your tutorials to help me. I hope by summer my great grandmothers charcoal portrait would have improved!
Definitely would love a video on shading and lighting this was very helpful! Thanks bro ❤️
Watching this portrait come to live is like magic. Love your expressive work

@@derkekster7247are you butthurt over the fact that he can live being an artist?
For me as a begginer at 75, this charcoal drawing is one of the best exercises how to enter into this field, thanks of such wonderfull representation.

Love your work!! Magical! So 😅inspiring! And your products, thank you for sharing ❤
So fresh, it reflects perfectly all the stacked history of that REAL old man ! Love it !
So many variations possible to Old Masters art work. Things they never though of/about !!!
Wow, that was absolutely amazing!! From your initial steps, to watch this come to life by the end was unbelievable, and you made it look so easy. I am in awe. Thank you.
Amazing, this is one of my favorite drawings ever!
Great job, love the thinking through what you are doing and explaining as you go.
The first dabs of charcoal I could see ur face composition already. I guess because I love charcoal drawing. Awesome work💯💯💯

Você é incrível.
That beard is sensational!
Super cool man.
Very good 👍
That is amazing man, thank you.
Hey ,Josh. Where u take photo for charcoal drowning? I'm really love ur work
Brilliant !
Hi Josh - Do you have any ideas or advice on the best way to frame your finished pieces.
Shading and lightening video yes please 😊
That turned out so awesome. How can you stand the feeling of the charcoal all over your hands though? Smudging with my fingers is like the equivalent of fingernails on a chalkboard for me. 😂
Love your stuff and follow on IG. Do you plan on doing a tutorial where you have two faces on a page?
nice sculpting ;-)
Any tips for shading portraits?
What kind of paper?
awesomeness
Love it!!
It sort of looks like much older, haggard version of Jesus, or maybe Paul (if compared with what is artistically shown Jesus and Paul to look like)
Amazing Art, can I paint this in digital and put on my instagram?
Very nice work! I'm curious about your paper. What are you drawing on here?
what's the paper you're using???
very good👌👌👌
Thanks for the video. Great work.
What is the paper that you were using? Thanks in advance.
Hope that sausages (and beer) tasted good after the video shoot.
Stunning.
Great work. Really inspiring. Do you always work from photographic reference or from imagination while doing portraits? Forgive me if you have mentioned , I'm both forgetful and new to your channel
BRAVO!!!
What’s your paper(s) of choice?!
Try Bostik Blu Tack works much better then a kneaded eraser.
Хорошая техника,но где правая сторона лица?
Amazing
