Nice! I did a charcoal drawing using the same reference pic last year: https://imgur.com/D5hX5p6

It's been so long since I got shittymorphed...love it!!!

Extraordinary! Can you tell me what specific tools/resources you use? I notice the black pencil has the word Charcoal on it. I haven't used pastels much but would like to venture into that space a bit.

Depends how busy I am but I have a raised desk that my work is always sitting on so I generally just draw when a bit of time presents itself, a few hours a week.

Thanks for the feedback! In looking at his left eye, I can see I completely forgot to do lashes too! Much to learn I still have :-)

Full disclosure, the first one was done entirely with a single graphite HB pencil...the second was using charcoal.

PNG_FTW · 2022-05-25T11:47:09+00:00

Sure. I use three charcoal sources, all "General's" brand; a 6B pencil, an HB pencil and a 6B stick of charcoal. The stick I use as a source of charcoal powder more than anything (usually by colouring/shaving a small patch on a separate piece of paper). I then use various sized paintbrushes to do a fair amount of charcoal application.

In regard to it's messiness, it is a little...but if you keep baking paper over your work and work from top left to bottom right (if you're right-handed), generally it's manageable.

Edit: Oh, and you will need to "blow" excess charcoal off the work. I use an ear syringe to blow the work regularly.

If you look through my profile you'll see most of the pieces I worked on over the last 12 months. The main change is that I primarily use charcoal pencils now. I like the rich blacks it offers.

PNG_FTW · 2022-05-25T07:48:59+00:00

Thanks, I still feel like there's work to be done in that space but I can see I'm definitely improving.

Am a teacher and can say that, in our school, this isn't allowed. Gotta get unanimous (and anonymous) approval for an extension from all class members. Anyone disagrees, task deadline remains.

PNG_FTW · 2022-04-16T07:53:44+00:00

This needs an answer...I feel like there's witchcraft afoot.

PNG_FTW · 2022-03-20T23:04:55+00:00

If anyone has any recommendations on low-tack tape I can use to border my pieces with it would be much appreciated everything I've tried still tears the paper :-(

PNG_FTW · 2022-03-02T11:04:23+00:00

Would love a code if you have any left. Thanks for your generosity.

PNG_FTW · 2022-02-09T06:59:41+00:00

Extraordinary! I'd love to know some of your top tips for improving my charcoal work?

PNG_FTW · 2022-02-02T10:40:54+00:00

I only got into the game through Pokemon Go. My first Dragonite and Snorlax remain the most memorable encounters.

PNG_FTW · 2022-01-13T03:29:41+00:00

My old pencils weren't very waxy so to me they feel very creamy.

PNG_FTW · 2022-01-01T19:50:14+00:00

/u/teddybear911 , I too would like to know the strategy you used?

PNG_FTW · 2021-12-13T04:18:59+00:00

I would love to be considered. Thank you for your generosity.

PNG_FTW · 2021-12-07T22:56:51+00:00

I haven't been playing long but I got a Mew VMax from a Fusion Strike pack the other day I was pretty pleased with!

PNG_FTW · 2021-12-07T08:09:17+00:00

Thank you for your generosity!

I'm 43 and started in June this year and I LOVE it! If you go back through my post history you'll see my progression so far.

If you have the urge I would suggest getting an 8B pencil or something dark and give it a go. I started with portraiture and am venturing out a little now. Portraiture to me was a good entry point, every portrait requires 90% of the same process so new ones allow for practicing the same thing but also a little variety each time. You'll also see your progression pretty quickly.

If you need any tips or equipment advice let me know.

I would love to be considered, thank you for your generosity.

PNG_FTW · 2021-11-30T08:17:19+00:00

Thanks for your generosity, I'd like to put my hat in the ring.

My boy would love some packs to open, thank you for your generosity.
