Marta, as always, it is wonderful to listen to your advice. For me, when it comes to drawing or painting, I find it very difficult to let go of my inner critic. I am very disappointed when the work does not meet my expectations. Because of my job, i have little dedicated time to draw and paint, but I make it worse (actually, it paralyzes me), because sometimes that negative disposition makes me avoidand. Thank you very much for your instruction. It is very helpful ❤
@@maitev-p9582 I completely understand. We can be our worst enemies. I have had students that were very busy professionals and had similar sentiments as yours, but it helped them to let go of unrealistic or unreasonable expectations and gave themselves permission to just ‘PLAY’. The USA is a very competitive and capitalist country that pushes the marketability of absolutely everything, including hobbies. Hobbies can no longer be pursued for pleasure and fulfillment’s sake alone. They must be side hustles! This will take the joy out of it by adding the financial expectations. But IT Shouldn’t Be That Way!! So my dear Maite, draw and paint for their own sake, improve as you can, but don’t let proficiency stop you ❤️
Great video. You gave so much good information as you worked. The finished drawing was gorgeous. Do you have difficulty cleaning your hands? I watched one youtube artist (not with your experience) who wore gloves. Maybe that's another plus for the soft charcoal. It hasn't been issue for me up to this point, but I am curious because I am working only in charcoal.
@@f.scott.fitzbeagle Thank you so much for the feedback! No, charcoal is burnt wood. Totally organic. It washes out with just mild soap and water. I don’t like to wear gloves for several reasons: first, they make my hands hot; second, I can’t use my fingers to blend, and lastly, they act as a barrier between the work and my hand, and I consider the work an extension of me. Love the intimacy and connection. The gloves take all that away. But this is just my personal feelings. Other artists wear gloves and they can produce good work as well.
