This has helped me so much! I never worked with charcoal before, but always wanted to give it a try. Totally didn’t regret it, and I actually enjoyed it so much I decided to definitely stick to it.
Thank you so much!!
Will there be more videos with this medium?

One of my Christmas presents to myself – I had so much fun! Excellent course, Aaron. Working in charcoal was brand new to me, as well as working so large! Both were a delight. I’m done with the lion, and have started one of my own of a Bighorn Ram. I’m looking forward to doing more works in charcoal!

Hi I love 💕this lesson!! It was so fun to learn new techniques and see the process come together on right before your eyes. It’s very easy to understand and to follow along. I loved making this picture of this tiger 🐅. I know you will not be disappointed when you buy this lesson even if you have work with charcoal before like I have. Thanks so much for making such a wonderful drawing lesson. I look forward to seeing many more in the future. Please make more of them. If you can do some on owls 🦉 and other birds 🦅 would be fantastic. It would also be nice to see you do oil painting and pastel work. I hope you do I would buy it in a heartbeat. Thanks again Aaron Blaise for these lessons you are a great teacher and very inspirational.😀👏

This was a wonderful lesson, i highly recommend it. I had played around with charcoal before but I always had some difficulty getting good results as I was unclear about how best to use it. I learned a ton following along with this lesson, Aaron made it really easy to keep up. His communication/teaching style is very pleasant and engaging, and I was really happy with how my drawing turned out-Most importantly, I feel like I have some of the fundamentals down much better so that I can try some other drawings in charcoal, which I definitely plan to do.
