Hi Jerry,
This course is in development and modules are released as they are developed. New modules will be released in two days. The first 14 days were released on April 1, 2018.

I’m curious… is it possible to capture the details in texture using just one pencil and varying the pressure? Or will the tooth of the paper make it harder to do so?
What brand of white charcoal pencil do you use? I live in Australia and can’t find one anywhere.
I completed the drawing and it looks reflective. Thanks
Matt my charcoal white pencil won’t go down very well, it’s like the surface is slippery and I’m not getting a lovely bright white like you do 😢
Beth I got mine on wish but any art/craft shop should have them, have you been to spotlight?
Hi Diane,
When using white charcoal and graphite together, you have be careful not to put too much graphite on the surface before applying the white charcoal.The white charcoal will not cover or go over the graphite very well. Do you think this is what is happening here?
hi Matt, Thank you for being so patient. I admire the way you teach and I am really engaged and motivated to see the lessons.
You’re right about the white charcoal, on not applying too much graphite at first coz it happens to me. However, I still feel that the charcoal i bought was of cheap quality that’s why there is no strong contrast and also the white looks ashy. Do you have any preference or recommendation on white charcoal?
Again I am grateful I found your online classes. Thank you Matt.
Hi Nell-E,
Thanks for your comments! Yes, I prefer General’s white charcoal in both stick and pencil form. I hope this helps.
Of all the module projects so far, this has proved to be the toughest challenge for me. Getting the inner inner rings of the bolt to look more or less round was hard. Still I’m learning more new things with each module. Thank you, Matt.
Great I really enjoyed that one I love how the light pops out when using the white charcoal pencil as always Matt your tutorials are amazing! Really starting to build up a really good sketch book to refer to !
Many thanks Jan
