Hello everyone. Are you enjoying painting/drawing? Here is my latest YouTube post of the process of the charcoal drawing. The actual drawing time is approx. 20 minutes. This drawing of a nomad man in white chech (head scarf) is my signature subject matter that I have been doing over the last two and half years. Drawing the portrait of the nomad origin people in the Sahara desert gives me peace and freedom to my soul, as it associates the mental perspective. Let me see your work of your favorite subject☺️ Have a wonderful week! Midori https://youtube.com/shorts/YkioObRi9bM?si=jZCVUiO8fnuP3B4d

I posted on YouTube short a short demonstration of the process of charcoal drawing of my cat. https://youtube.com/shorts/QEXhAayy2tc?si=vUHlgjSAWQ_GdudG Down below I show the almost finished work. darkened the background so that the light colour of the fur stands out. I said “almost finish” because I tend to leave the work for a day or two and I always find something that calls for improving. I used a charcoal pencil and pan pastel black. Also I used a little blue pastel to suggest her pale blue eyes and light brown pastel for her coat. The addition of just a little colours emphasizes three dimensional effect. The tip is not to try to copy the reference photo. My aim is always to capture the vibe of the subject and convey the mood of the moment of life. What do you think of this work? If you share your opinion, question, or anything, I appreciate it. So please don’t hesitate to leave comments.🙏 Scroll to see the photo on the right.
