This is my fifth charcoal drawing so far. I disliked the medium at first but I'm starting to enjoy it more and more 😄.

WHAT! How can you draw precisely with charcoal? Do you have a picture of your instruments?
Can you show the other pictures?
Sure I'll post some other drawings eventally. I use a kneeded eraser, an abrasive eraser, a compressed and soft charcoal and a blending stick.
This makes sense. I’m learning to draw and only recently discovered these tools and what can be done with them. It’s almost like sculpture in that your job is to take away (after first drawing the rough image of course).
Nice analogy with "sculpture"
