Lesson 7: WORKING WITH CHARCOAL (2)

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

Pick up a thick piece of charcoal and start practising with it. You will be able to see that the texture is very different to that of a normal graphite pencil.

Another way to use the charcoal is to use it flat on the paper. We get the charcoal and we drag it across the paper, obtaining a very thick line.

Now we are going to draw curves, using a small piece of charcoal.

We should practise a lot, to get to grips with using charcoal.
