The best thing that ever happened to my drawing improvement is that I discovered you😍 the wonderful way you teach has helped me tremendously thank you so very much!
What you said about having a few landmark points that stay in a permanent place, and other points around it can be kept more flexible and movable until the accuracy is found, was really helpful. I'm going to be keeping that one in mind. Thanks.
I've enjoyed this video, Florent has the capability of to explain clearly the principles of drawing, and how he use the charcoal is amazing, thanks a lot
I just found your channel and wow you're such a great artist and even better (for me), is that you're a great teacher too. Great lessons, I can't wait to explore your channel and learn. Excellent.
Simply amazing! This spoke to my heart since my charcoals come first and I know I have a long path of growth ahead of me. These are amazing pearls of wisdom. Thank you for sharing this!
Great tips that seems to help with most of my problems while drawing portraits! It really helps to keep those few secrets in mind, I love the aproach of leaving some parts of the drawing flexible. Also, this is a superb artwork, I simply love it. Thank you!
I started teaching myself to draw last year and I'm ever so slowly shifting from graphite to charcoals. There's a rawness with charcoal that can't be had with graphite. I was wondering if there are charcoal holders, that work similar to lead holders. I ask because I have Osteoarthritis in my left arm and both hands, so holding charcoal can be a bit of a nightmare.
These five ways that you have described are very simple and very good. I will definitely follow you on this 5th day, I will use it. I found it very interesting technique.
Thank you Florent as you're given very useful tips about essentially geometrical shares, coherente ,landmarks as revérence points...l think it'll be a lot easier to do my portrait studies now!
Thanks for your presentation and sharing your process. I've been painting for awhile now, but I recently started developing my portraiture more as I've always admired the work. Good job
Excelente clase de dibujo . Desde mi punto de vista , mi principal foco de atencion son los dedos entre el pelo .Los ojos es muy reiterativo en todo tipo de imagenes . Saludos de un aficionado al dibujo
This video has definitely gave me stuff to consider when I start my fundamental of drawing class in college! So excited to show off what I learned here!
I just learnt a very helpful key from ur video ."every one has his own style" of shading. After being afraid of spoiling my drawing last night, this video just proved my fear ...wrong...Thanks a lot.
I feel like there was more than 5 secrets to drawing in this video. Like, I will refer back to this video often long after I've watched it multiple times.
Isn't reference line (usually vertical) anchor for artist drawing figure, face, bust etc. as well? With engineering background my sketches were always XYZ "coordinated" . :-) :-) :-) Impressed with your NITRAM sticks, I have ordered one of each from your NITRAM link. No art store is selling it here in my part of Canada, and Amazon charges $22 before tax for ONE box + $ 6 shipping.
Hi Florent, with drawing do you ever use grids? I find drawing a very difficult thing to do free-hand, and to get utmost accuracy I try to grid and re-size. I also try to convert my images to black and white to get tonal values. Do you do this in your art work for any types of subjects? Thanks for the great videos!
Lately, I have learned a little more about the advertisements that play before and during content. Do I correctly understand that the vlogger receives more compensation if I do not “skip” past the ad? I just watched 18 minutes of advertising before this video. I stared doing this for preferred bloggers in the hopes that they receive the compensation they need to maintain their channel. Thanks in advance!
Using the eyes as visual landmarks is risky...who would have thought? It’s true I learned! My favorite subject does have a wall eye that’s important to getting his look.
Florent, very nice! What type of white pencil are you using? You said that it was "white chalk" but is it a conte pencil, which is more like a crayon, right? Is there a benefit of using that vs. using white charcoal?
Also look at Nathan's Fowkes charcoal figure drawing if you want to learn about drawing. He has a book on it too. And also, of course, and without a doubt: Cesare Santos.
Hi, is this really nitram charcoal? I have square nitram charcoal in three different grades, but it doesn't seem anywhere close as dark as yours on the video. Kind regards.
I left the material list in the description box. it's arches watercolor paper heavy grain but I forgot which kind exactly; i tone it myself before starting with a wash of gouache.
Rarely can someone that possesses such talent, teach others. Thank You!
The best thing that ever happened to my drawing improvement is that I discovered you😍 the wonderful way you teach has helped me tremendously thank you so very much!

Amazing video
Bravo!
You're amazing! Thank you
Thank you so much !
Muito obrigada por compartilhar seu conhecimento conosco!!
Very good!
It is important for us to see what you are drawing from the same angle that you see it.what is your reference? A model or a photo?
Sargent would appreciate this. Would be interesting to see hw Farges do in painting colour.
Amazing!
7:36 - What would you use if there Nitram was not available, would you suggest wine charcoal or charcoal pencils.?
I can tell you've been working on your English. Your French accent is much less pronounced now. If you've been working on this, well done!
love this!
Thanks for the tips! How do check the proportions? Do you use some tool?
This is really helpful. Thank you so much!
😎Awesome... 😇...👍
Merci pour partager ceci !!! Vidéo Très importante
Your drawing look like the renaissance portrait, but with modern material.
bjr FLORENT,excellent la video moi qui adore le fusain nitram
Hi, is this really nitram charcoal? I have square nitram charcoal in three different grades, but it doesn't seem anywhere close as dark as yours on the video. Kind regards.
Amazing
what is the difference between the Nitram Batôn and the Nitram stylus?
👍♥️ very helpful!
Hello
What paper do you use? And is it toned before you start?
I left the material list in the description box. it's arches watercolor paper heavy grain but I forgot which kind exactly; i tone it myself before starting with a wash of gouache.
