    The drawing is done on "Canson Mi-teintes TOUCH" Flannel grey (122) paper: 47 x 62 cm.

    Both, Graphite and Charcoal have their Pros and Cons.
Full and rich tones from white to a deep black can only be achieved with charcoal. Even the softest graphite grade is always only gray - no matter what images of drawings on the internet might suggest otherwise.
Charcoal has a nice matt tone. Graphite can get quite shiny, especially with darker tones, which can make it quite hard to look at if you have a lot of dark tones in your drawing.

    While the course covers pretty much everything you need to know about hyperrealistic charcoal drawing, you can ask any question or start a discussion with fellow students at any lesson, or write us an email.

    Since this is a live event, refunds are excluded after registration. But please write to us at [email protected] and we will find a solution.

    Please know, that we always answer every email! Today’s email providers want to save you from SPAM but overdo it, so that quite often our emails do not reach you, even if we reply to your initial email, and sometimes we get blocked completely (although we will never SPAM you), making it impossible to reach you at all! If you do not hear from us, please try to use a different email address (if you have), or use one of our other channels such as Instagram or Facebook to get in contact with us.
