For the timed drawing exercise, Matt creates a sketch of giraffe in 45 minutes using a combination of white charcoal and graphite on toned paper. This one is a challenge, filled with lots of texture and complex shapes. <\/p>\n<h3>Art Product Recommendation<\/h3>\n<p>The featured art product for this episode are white charcoal pencils by General&#8217;s. These pencils make a great compliment to darker drawing mediums such as charcoal and graphite &#8211; especially when used on toned paper. Using a white medium allows us to quickly push the range of value in the drawing and produce a variety of grays.<\/p>\n<p>You can pick up a set for yourself on Amazon here&#8230;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/31ulX1f\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Buy General&#8217;s White Charcoal Pencils<\/a><\/p>\n<p>(The above link is an affiliate link which means that we make a small commission if you purchase without any additional expense to you.)<\/p>\n<h2>Drawing a Giraffe with White Charcoal and Graphite &#8211; 45 Minute Timed Drawing<\/h2>\n<p>In this episode&#8217;s timed drawing challenge, Matt creates a sketch of a giraffe with graphite and white charcoal on toned gray drawing paper within 45 minutes. <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a look at the completed drawing&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"featuredimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/giraffe-sketch.jpg\" alt=\"Sketch of a giraffe on toned paper\" width=\"800\" height=\"987\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/giraffe-sketch.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/giraffe-sketch-243x300.jpg 243w, https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/giraffe-sketch-768x948.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"contentfix\">\n<h2>Materials for this Drawing Exercise<\/h2>\n<p>Since a combination of white media and dark media are used, toned paper is essential.
