David Jon Kassan means by saying “drawing the eye without drawing the eye” that he doesn’t start drawing the eyes with lines.

Using charcoals, in general, is challenging because it’s not easy to lighten an area once the area is dark. For example, when I use charcoal I start first with the dark areas or shadows and after that, I go to the lighter area of the figure. David Kassan used a white chalk pencil that helped him with the lighter details which helped his because the pencil was not powdery so it did not smudge. I think the process worked nicely for him
