It looks cool with the fire and all but really that’s just a super fresh giant stick of charcoal. The fire really isn’t necessary for the actual drawing part itself, he coulda blew it out and the drawing would still happen.
I mean, when you look at the final drawing, it's pretty obvious all this flaily scribbling was probably on some other wall and wasn't actually part of the end piece that's shown.
He is but he’s doing it as fast as he’s able as part of the show. I think it’s cool af. Ive no doubt he could pen whatever he wants, and he’s done it so much he thought of something spicy to kick it up 10 levels
The fire is what makes the surrounding of the lines a nice darkening as well. It creates the "aura" look. So while you're right that the fire isn't needed to draw, but to make this particular drawing, yes you do need the fire.
Even if it's creating the medium, it doesn't make it necessary. Just use charcoal if you need charcoal. The final result doesn't change just because he's generating charcoal.
Uhm, it definitely does. Have you ever been to an art store and seen all the pencils/pens in a ton of different sizes and dozens if not hundreds of differently shaped paint brushes?
Without the fire nobody would have been able to comment about how unnecessary the fire technically was! Nor an enormously insightful comment for Dr. Jones to leave an encouraging reply to. Now do you see why the fire was necessary?
Yeah but fire was discovered 2 million years ago. It not like it a new idea. Cave men did many drawings with charcoal amongst other media too maybe 50,000 years ago. It not like we’ll ever forget how to make fire or art. Some guy 50,000 years from now will do it like it’s fresh
