The video course SAYA is the latest charcoal course. Both using and showing the same techniques and my whole process for hyperrealism drawings in charcoal. But due to the subject, SAYA is easier to draw and to learn the new techniques.
SAYA being newer has some advantages, such as better video quality with a straight view on the drawing and color coded pencils, Saya has instructional AND real-time videos while RIVER only has the real-time videos (instructions are in the videos and it comes with a detailed PDF booklet).
SAYA is more suitable for beginners, while RIVER might be better for intermediate artists.
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.
