This was done in charcoal pencil (2B and 6B) on gray-toned paper. The reference photo was from the Life Drawing Techniques class on ArtTutor.com

I did this portrait using charcoal and graphite.
From Arttutor – Sketching places Quickly
This was done in vine charcoal, and was based on a reference photo and lesson in the “Sketching Places Quickly” course by Phil Davies on ArtTutor.com.
More Charcoal… I’m on a roll.
This is another piece I did, based on the ArtTutor.com class “Studies in Charcoal” by Joann Boon Thomas. Same vine charcoal, and toned paper. This reference photo was one of the instructor’s based on a life drawing she did. I need to find a life drawing class myself, although with Covid, it might be an online/Zoom version.
More Classwork from ArtTutor…
This piece, like the one posted yesterday, is also from the “Studies in Charcoal” by Joann Boon Thomas. Same supplies — vine charcoal and toned paper. I definitely need to practice hands and feet.
ArtTutor.com class: Studies in Charcoal
With this art tutorial website going away in March, I’ve been making an effort to use my membership, and one of the online classes I did was Joann Boon Thomas’ “Studies in Charcoal”. This drawing was done on Strathmore toned paper, using medium vine charcoal (which is extremely forgiving — i.e., easy to erase with a kneaded eraser.) The reference photo was provided in class.
ArtTutor.com is Closing its Virtual Doors!
ArtTutor.com, the website based in Liverpool, England, where I got most of my drawing training in Phil Davies’ Drawing Essentials course, is shutting down as of the end of March 2022. This is largely due to the pandemic lockdowns, etc.
Many of the courses offered are currently being made available for purchase at a discount to monthly members like myself and at a smaller discount (for a short period of time) to a la carte users of the site.
If you previously bought a course from that site, or if you think you might want to, you have until the end of March to download that course. Downloading can only be done to a laptop or desktop computer, not a mobile phone or a tablet.
Charcoal Portrait: Arttutor.com class
Here’s a portrait I did from a photo reference in an ArtTutor class.
