Wow! I didn't realize how much an eraser is used to create highlights. Very cool.

[@cindylong2782]

My favorite medium is charcoal. I will be taking this course once I finish the 25 days to better drawings - plus I have works going that need to be completed. I love, love, love this landscape. The final drawing looks great. I look forward to taking the course!

[@ewayne1527]

I’m so jealous. What kind of paper do you use for landscapes? Is it smooth like a typing paper or more course with more texture to the paper?

[@dougg1075]

Sweet

[@thevirtualinstructor]

Thanks, Doug!

[@henriquejanuario881]

Do you recommend fix this drawing? What brand of spray?

[@nanamiss1793]

I have a question for you, is it preferable to spray fixative after completing the charcoal drawing, even with the landscape drawing ?

[@scholarthefuture7284]

My fav medium 😍

[@greekveteran2715]

Just when I had decided to not get an electric eraser..I guess it's a great tool to have.

[@Djenggot76]

nice look draw,. 😍😍😍

[@africanartworksza]

I like it

[@seanneal7477]

On the lemon 30 min video are u using oil, soft, or hard pastels and what type of pencil are u using for shadowing underneath

[@jflo7674]

Do I really need the electric eraser to create this?

[@thevirtualinstructor]

No, but it helps - alot! You can buy one for just a few dollars - you won't regret it.

[@jflo7674]

@@thevirtualinstructor Ah okay. Makes sense.☺

[@EphremDagne]

Super expericances I have seen on you.

[@beemcquinn4270]

How well does charcoal go over top of a graphite base?

[@elainevechorik2171]

I bought the online course and was disappointed to see that most of the lessons are already on TH-cam - free.

Пусть сядет и с натуры нарисует дерево, без всяких электроластиков, а только с одним карандашом и обычным ластиком, вот тогда я посмотрю какой он художник.
