How I Renders in Charcoal

You can use whatever medium you're most comfortable with.


I'm using: 

Strathmore 400 Series Bristol paper

AlphaColor black charcoal stick

Conté sticks HB or B

Kneaded eraser and hard white eraser

A paper Stump


My simple 3 step process is :

1. Draw 2 Sides of the Form

2. Draw the Shape of the Shadow on the form

3. Give the Shadow Shape a dark Value


And repeat.

Another great demo - I learned a lot. I also appreciate you doing traditional media rather than digital.
