The Charcoal Reset Method

Three steps. That is all it is.

01

Reset

First we break the fear of starting. A no-judgement beginning, where information matters and perfection does not.

02

Build

Then we build the skill. Not everything at once. Small steps, clear exercises, step-by-step guidance, and a small win at every stage.

03

Create

And finally you apply all of it to one lifelike portrait. A real skill, one you can later use for commissions or extra income.

Read this honestly

This training is for you if:

  • You once loved to draw, and somewhere in the rush of life that dream got left behind.
  • You have watched tutorial after tutorial on YouTube, and the face still does not look real.
  • Shading does not make sense, the structure goes wrong, and the sketch ends up abandoned.
  • You have time for everyone else and none for yourself. By the end of the day there is nothing left over.
  • You want someone to point out your mistake and correct it, instead of guessing alone.
  • You want art to be more than a hobby, and eventually a meaningful source of extra income.

And who it is not for

If you are looking for a quick fix, or expect to master this in a week, this is not for you. It takes 12 weeks, and during those 12 weeks the work has to be yours.

You have two choices.

Either the same hit-and-trial struggle carries on. Or you take the first step today, and 12 weeks from now you get to say it yourself: I finally did it.
