Charcoal Underdrawing for an Oil Painting

To learn a lot more about painting the figure with the old masters methods, check out
www.damianosbo...
The blog covers a lot more info about oil painting techniques, drawing, and using different art materials, (which is not covered by the video).
This is the first stage in the classical painting method for my upcoming portrait/figure painting.
I kept this video relatively short, so please check out my website if you would like to learn more stuff:

That is a ton of detail for going under a painting!

Not really. The drawing is quick and helps me to get a sense of how I want the painting and composition to look. The charcoal can be easily wiped off with a rag or even my sleeve. So I'm never really precious about it. And I get it done in less than an hour, so it saves me from literally days of messing around with mistakes made in paint.
