Charcoal Fabric Drawing: Part 1 Subtractive Method

In this video, I’m using the subtractive, or ‘Reductive’, method of tonal drawing of fabric starting with a toned ground, using vine charcoal, then creating a gesture drawing of the fabric with charcoal pencils. From there, I use a variety of erasers to pick out the varying degrees of lighter values, leaving the toned ground as the mid-tones and reflective light of the drawing. Vine charcoal and charcoal pencils are also used to add darker values in this fabric study.

    What paper are you using and which paper do you find best for being able to easily lift the vine charcoal?

    Hi! Sorry for the late response. I’m using Strathmore Series 400 Drawing (recycled paper). There are other great papers specifically made for charcoal drawing in the Strathmore series that are worth trying.
