Beginning a Sketch

Coffee Beans, part I

Today I wanted to share the first part of my artistic process for sketching in charcoal; we will begin with a set of four (tiny!) coffee beans, and work through how I draft out a sketch.

In this video, I am using the following:

• Coffee beans from my local roastery

• Strathmore 400 Toned Tan paper, 9x12 inches

• General’s 4B soft charcoal pencil

• Music from William Agosto’s YouTube channel because it’s awesome

Let’s get started!

Thanks for watching! You can post your questions below or direct message me and I’ll answer them in the next video.
