RE: John Wick portrait sketching case study 2 : shading and finishing.
From my opinion, charcoal powder is much easier to control by using dry brush. But must have a complete set of brushes from the smallest to biggest brush. The most important is to understand the medium we use with a lot of practice and study other people works and technique.
many thanks for this information, you are right in this matter, it looks like the charcoal powered is more easy to use and control, but it tent to darken the portrait, also may i ask if you are using white charcoal in your drawings? i am not using it, but saw a lot of artist do so.
I don't use white charcoal. I prefer use eraser for the highlights
thanks @miorrizzuan ;-)
