How to be not afraid of going dark ? Especially on light models

Better late than never, I guess :)
Thanks for the lesson, Stan! Was great fun and loved that charcoal powder technique you showed. Would definitely like to do more of these charcoal/graphite draw alongs in the future if there's any plans for it.

Thanks Stan. Missed it live but went through it on my own. It was such fun using the kneaded eraser on the brushed charcoal - like magic! I’ll definitely be doing some more of this. Here’s my attempt following along. Anybody have any ideas where I should go from here?

I do not feel comfortable with charcoal and my strength is graphite . So should I just use graphite on my potrait ?
2yr
Sure, you can use graphite, of course. You can also practice charcoal and get comfortable with it so you can be more versatile. It's up to you.

This seems backwards to me. Perspective is not super easy for me, but it looks to me like the vanishing point should have gone towards the left, and here it looks like it is going off to the right. Does it have something to do with using the front camera as opposed to using the back camera or vice versa? Did the video come out in mirror image?

Never mind, I think you just answered my question, his head is slightly tilted to the left and angled down.

Thank you everyone who watched, asked questions, and helped me with the drawing!! I spent another hour fixing some things. Here's the final.

I don't know whether I can post it here, but I drew portrait from same picture, dark areas might not be dark as they are because of my scanner.

Is it totally lame to 'hide' your signature in the drawing vs putting it plainly in the corner??
