I love studies like this; not many people take the time to do them outside of Art School anymore. Really well done, and some super important info here. I'll have to go check out some of the other videos you referenced as well- the anatomy one sounds particularly interesting. I like what your doing here, a lot of people could benefit from this; keep it up.-Best of luck on your art and your channel, and much support from one artist to another. Liked and subbed.

شسم الورق هذا What is the name of the paper

I agree that your instructions here are really well done. I have a question about the brush used for smoothing the Nitram charcoal. I’ve seen others do this as well, and it looks like you may have cut the hairs down so that the brush is short and stiff. Or, perhaps it’s just an old brush that’s worn down but serving the same affect. I’ve been using a small flat for this myself and I wonder how important it is to shorten the brush? I’m getting some blending but not as much as you are here.

Rob, I am using a very small flat brush for this demo. I haven’t cut the bristles down, but I do think shorter bristles allow for easier blending when working with the nitram charcoal. Occasionally I will use soft rounds when working with pastels. A lot of it depends on how soft or hard the medium is. I hope this helps!

@@riverafineartstudios2593 Perfect, thanks! One other question. What are your thoughts about the "truists" that feel you should not use any blending tools for doing studies like a Bargue litho and assert that one needs to be able to do this completely by sensitivity of touch? I sort of get their point and I've been trying to avoid the stump specifically (for now), but I'm on the fence about allowing myself to use the brush on my first Bargue copy (I used the brush in my preliminary charcoal tests and it really did help to smooth things out and get some of the charcoal in to the tooth of the paper). I just don't want to short change my learning :) Lmk your thoughts-thanks!

I myself have worked with both methods. I do agree that it is helpful to develop a lighter touch by using only the charcoal, however the finish will never be quite as smooth. Alternatively I enjoy layering, by smoothing out my base layer with a blending tool and then adding more subtle texture on the upper layer with intricate marks using just the charcoal. Shading, when applied in a specific direction, can also accentuate the form.

What do you use to blend

so you just using B nitram and white generals charcoal pencil right?

which type of pencil best for drawing
