I love working with charcoal. I did this small sketch to test a couple of techniques.
1. If you score the paper with a sharp object before adding the charcoal and then smear it, the scored lines remain white, and 2. If you score after applying charcoal and then smear it, the scored lines remain dark.
Materials: Canson 7×10 inch Mix Media paper, vine charcoal, and white gel pen.
