I just cannot believe how you create such real pictures so fast...JUST amazing.

[Zee-etrd]

You are a charcoal master. Beautiful portraits with personality.

I love your natural way of explains art methods. It’s no direct by the book structures, there’s lots of feeling in your description which other artists can recognise and relate to!

Your so helpful I've just started drawing again after 50 years I'm loving it, ,,,from Scotland

Don't know why Youtube decided to put one of your shorts in my feed, but I'm glad it did :) I really love your work, and I love how your seemingly "random strokes" (at first) end up creating a beautiful portrait. Or, as the title of your video suggests, how beauty emerges out of chaos. Beautiful work ! I wish I could express as much with my photography :)

I love watching your drawing become real. It looks photorealistic but with abstract elements. Thank you so much!!!

[phyllisharries]

Brilliant! Love your style! Thank you for sharing your inspiration.

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video! It really helped me understand that the fundamentals are really a bunch of tools in a toolbox that an artist uses to depict a subject or capture the essence of it and leave the rest of the information vague or abstract, study it, or even make sense of it. To the effect of what you said, it's a series of steps of intentional thinking, practice, and instincts that produces an image. And determining how well or unwell you're conveying a certain element or fundmental lets you know if you need to change something or explore another direction within the image. When you said realism is really how clear the information is helped me make sense of that. Again, thank you so much!

We have alot in common with our working technique. One letting the piece develop itself. And two pulling beauty out of chaos. My drafting skills will always be the foundation of my painting. It was really good to see another artist who has the skill and passion for his art.

A true pleasure and inspiration to watch you work

great tutorial uncomplicated talking to me like a mate no heirs and graces just down to earth

Coming into this from photography and photo editing, I think really helped me understand the way light and shadow fall on a face. Dodge and burn is essentially sculpting a face in the digital realm. And I have no shortage of reference photos 😂But learning to work with charcoal has been a bit of a learning curve for sure.

[doviende]

thanks, i really appreciated all the commentary on how to consider the interplay of abstract and detailed.

[TheNakedSilo]

Amazing. I love watching you work and hearing about your process.

[Maltmeister]

Had me mesmerized, , beautiful work and appreciate the tutorial.

[mattbaigent]

I'm in awe dude. Thanks for these tutorials, crazy helpful!

[susanmarcoux]

Good advice, thank you. I love to watch you 'pull beauty ' out of chaos. ❤

[emilleum]

Another really amazing drawing, and your additional information related to the types and locations of the form and cast shadows was a good refresher for me, keeping the chaos within the drawing creates a lot more interest, than something closer to a photo, thank you

Wow I couldn’t get enough of that, such inspiration and a great teacher. 🙌

I think you are highly talented using charcoal. I love using charcoal and I have been following your example. I have a feel for charcoal and love making art from shadows.
