I Erased the Face... and the Drawing Got Done Better | Fantasy Art Vlog | Charcoal Drawing Process

Welcome back to What I Worked On This Week an Art Vlog! This week I focused almost entirely on one dark fantasy charcoal drawing and discovered an important lesson: sometimes you have to let go of your original idea and trust the creative process. After spending hours painting a realistic face, I realized it wasn't serving the piece. I erased it, followed the muse, and the artwork transformed into something far more interesting. I also compare values between two charcoal pieces and explain why strong contrast is essential for creating depth and making your focal points stand out. Plus, I'm getting ready to begin a 30x48 commissioned dragon drawing for Illuxcon, so exciting things are coming!
