White charcoal always feels weird/challenging to draw with, but drawing in reverse/highlights forces one to change your perception on what to draw, and is great fun/practice.

hope you enjoy.

Glider you're amazing. You always pick great subjects for your portraits, and no matter how many times you release new portraits I'm always stunned by them. Keep it up!

Really cool. Does white charcoal on black paper work better with 'brightly lit' people, or could you just as easily draw pictures using that medium with lots of shadows and dark areas? Is one more challenging than the other?

Ah fantastic. Always a pleasure to watch you work.

Thanks for posting these! I find it so incredible what you're able to achieve with the simple tools you're using. Towards the end of the video, the people seem to come alive. Absolutely beautiful.
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Holy shit. Awesome choice of subject too - he looks particularly fan-fucking-tastic in your chosen format.

Took the word write out of my...keyboard. I have to say that his face "pops" even more than some of your previous portraits.
