I haven't been able to draw the way l used to because of my hand tremors, but now you've inspired me to try this style of art, keep up the phenomenal work.

His drawings almost resemble out of focus photos that capture a small moment in the person's life..a fleeting moment..unbelievably awesome artist!!

Honestly, I was mesmerized watching this piece take shape and it has inspired me to be less afraid of using charcoal which I have always found intimidating in my beginning to take up drawing. I have, so far, being trying for realism and avoiding drawing from inspiration; however, using the technique you demonstrated here, I can set myself free to just have fun and stop trying to be so tied to the reference. Thank you.

Honestly I prefer this instead of a hyper realistic 80-hours pencil face drawing, it's just amazing how simple, yet impactful charcoal can be

I used to enjoy portraiture working with a more realistic approach but with the chemotherapy making me feel very sick and wears me out very often so after watching this I am very intrigued. I could create an expressive charcoal portrait within 20 minutes without wearing myself out. Thank you so much for sharing this, this may be just the thing to bring back my passion for drawing again.

Absolute, sheer genius on so many levels! As an artist and as a teacher. I am an advanced abstract artist looking to delve into some realistic art. However, every time I try, I fail. And that’s fine, obviously, but it’s nice to finally see something that so clearly mixes the two, and so clearly explains with both academic and casual language what the goal is, what the process is, and the result. You have a gift as an instructor, motivator and artist and I thank you for sharing it with us.

Although I digital paint, I kind of live by this. I like seeing the face come out of the mess instead of defining the lines so perfectly and painting into them.

"I don't erase mistakes" - true art🏽

8:34 I absolutely love how a few strokes cant create a beautiful chuckling smile

It is interesting, inspiring, and very enjoyable watching these charcoal drawings come to life out of nothing. You are watching what looks like a brunch of scribbling and muddy dark spots but before you realize it an amazing abstract image appears. I want to start practicing this technique.

wow !! THIS IS 1 OF THOSE VIDEOS THAT I WATCH COMPLETELY + U CHANGED MY PERSPECTIVE ON CHARCOAL AND TIME MANAGEMENT. WOW NEW REVELATIONS!!!

Incredible. I love your philosophy when it comes to your art.

This is exactly what I wanted to see. When I am drawing a portrait, I like it to resemble the person because it’s usually someone whom I’ve lost or someone whom I feel emotional about, but I do like to do an impressionistic drawing as well.

I love the way you walk through the process in an explanatory way that makes sense

Wow, I could watch you all day. It's so mesmerizing.
