Dear Tianyin,
thank you very much for your course. I enjoyed it very much. Watching you drawing and seeing the final results of your artworks is a pleasure! Well done. Keep making your beautiful drawings! :-)
After I have seen your course, I have tried to paint a cat first. Even though I understood your concept, it is hard for me to loosen up. I will continue practising the looseness and proportions in my next charcoal drawings.
I'd like to ask on how to protect a thicker layer of a charcoal dust, if this is possible at all? As it doesn't work with any of my 4 fixatives :-D I like the effect of the charcoal dust used to create a pattern, such as at the owl. I tried to give it several layers of different fixatives and am aiming to protect the painting by glass, but still it doesn't seem that the charcoal dust adheres enough to the surface so it could damage or change during harder manipulation or accident.
Thank you again for your course and for sharing of your knowledge. Have a great time! :-)

Profesor Plushi Zuzana,
Very impressive work, I think you have done a good job.
Glad you enjoyed the course.
1, to loosen up, see as little as possible, and simplify everything, if you wear glasses, remove them when starting a new drawing, if you have excellent eyesight, try half close them, and you will see a very blurry world.
2, charcoal powder does not easily go deep dark, that's why I use soft charcoal pencil for the dark, also compressed charcoal, could cover a larger area.

Thank you Tianyin!
Yes I wear glasses! And I have nearly forgotten this advice. It helps very much. Thank you! :-)
My question regarding the charcoal was directed to fixing and protecting the picture, if I use a thicker dust layer. I like the structure of the dust in a larger layer but it seems impossible to fix it.
Thank you very much again! :-) I have enjoyed your course very much and have learned a lot :-)
