Frequently Asked Questions
Creating charcoal-style portraits digitally is a great way to channel the beauty of traditional artwork into digital mediums. While there are many software programs out there that allow you to replicate the textures, tones, and details of charcoal in your own digital artworks, iPad apps can offer a more streamlined approach.Our artists have embraced using iPads as their canvas for creating stunningly authentic charcoal-style visuals; plus, it offers some advantages over other software programs—particularly when rendering on-the-go or creating images with limited equipment.
Yes, a canvas can be used as a surface for charcoal drawing. In fact, many artists prefer to use canvas for charcoal drawings because the texture of the canvas can add depth and interest to the drawing. Just be aware that because charcoal is a dry medium, it can be difficult to erase or make corrections on a canvas surface. You may want to use a kneaded eraser or a putty rubber to remove any stray marks or make corrections carefully. It's also a good idea to work on a piece of paper first to get a feel for the medium and to make any necessary compositional sketches or value studies before transferring your drawing to the canvas.
You can use any type of canvas for charcoal drawings, including stretched canvas, canvas boards, or canvas pads. Stretched canvas has been stretched over a wooden frame and is typically used for oil and acrylic paintings. Canvas boards and canvas pads are more portable and often used for quick studies or working on smaller projects.The type of canvas you choose will depend on the size of your drawing and your personal preference. Stretched canvas is a good choice if you want to create a larger, more detailed drawing, while canvas boards or pads may be more suitable for smaller, simpler drawings or for practice
