Hello, My name is Matteo, but people call me Zok.
I’m an Italian artist dedicated to intricate details, which led me to become hyper-realistic. I make my art by mixing charcoal and graphite to obtain those nice and dark values from the charcoal and the tiny, extremely delicate details only a graphite pencil can create.
My Story
Â
Since I started sharing my work on social media, I’ve received countless questions like, 'How do you do it?' or 'What tools do you use?' While I’ve always done my best to respond through comments and direct messages, I realized that a quick reply could never fully answer the depth of those questions.
Â
That’s when I decided to create this course. A comprehensive, step-by-step guide that covers everything I’ve learned over the years. It’s designed to provide clear, detailed answers to all the questions I’ve been asked, from materials and techniques to preserving and presenting artwork.
This course is my way of giving back to the community and helping others achieve their artistic goals, and create the portraits they’ve always dreamed of. It’s a project born from passion and the desire to share the joy of creating art.
