I really enjoyed using the charcoal. I find it quite freeing. I love the tone and energy you can get with it. It does get extremely messy but I love the dramatic effect. I particularly like the drawing of the women’s bottom.
You can get a really crisp line particularly with the compressed charcoal.
The graphite sticks have taken more getting used to as I have never used them before. I really like the small graphite sticks. I found it easier with a broken piece of stick as it was shorter. I like the texture and there is a lot of energy in its effect. It is not as dramatic as Charcoal but also not as messy.
I discovered I had run out of fixative and hairspray – so they will probably all smudge as well. I really enjoyed this exercise but have just realised that I supposed to do it in small boxes - oh well!
