when I print the reference photo it measures 8 1/4 x 6 1/4 I would prefer to do this in an 8×10 but not sure how to do this. Thanks Matt I am really enjoying all of your courses.
I’m struggling to get the white charcoal pencil to make a clean white mark over the pencil. It seems to be a very hard charcoal. Can you get a soft charcoal pencil? Enjoying the course.
Yes I’m having the same problem and it’s particularly difficult to apply over graphite. Is it a material issue or application issue?
Hi Lydia,
You have be careful. White charcoal will not cover heavy applications of graphite.
Brilliant to watch this video! Love it !
Thanks Jan!
