Abraham Lincoln Portrait Getting a Likeness in Artist Charcoal

Join me as I create a charcoal drawing portrait of one of the most beloved of American Presidents, Abraham Lincoln. I don't hold anything back in teaching you my technique of getting a likeness.

Artist supplies used in this video:
Derwent charcoal pencils, medium
General's charcoal pencils, medium and soft
Winsor & Newton Artist' Vine Charcoal, medium
Master's Touch Jumbo Soft Willow Charcoal (Coates jumbo willow charcoal tree stick works just as well!)
Strathmore 400 medium surface drawing pad 18X24"
Kneaded eraser
Acetone in a spray bottle (Use with extreme caution as this is a cancer-causing liquid. Use only in a well-ventilated room)
Pounce pad (or pounce sock)
Sakura Electric Eraser
any sanding pad for sharpening charcoal, I use the Nitram Sharpening Bloc
any soft and hog bristle hair brushes for blending
as well as tissues, paper towels, and dirty fingers
