Charcoal drawings x2



I drew these today at the market. The road took me 4 hours, and the waterfront took me 2 hours. They are both 12"x8.5"

  1. NICE JJ!! You're really getting good with the charcoal. Are you liking it any better now? They really do look terrific. :)

  2. Hey Charity. Actually, I am really really liking it. I think maybe I am going to like it more than graphite :p

  3. Really?? I haven't figured out how to use that stuff yet. I have tons of it...sticks, pencils, and all..but no willow charcoal. I'm working on a picture right now that basically ate my 8B pencil..and after I started, I was thinking.."Dang..I should have used charcoal for the blacks..." lol

  7. Thanks. The second one is about the shadows of the tree on the pavement mainly. It is a local scene, just up the road a ways from there we have the market..
