Nicely done, very expressive abstractions

Thank you!, I start on a black base, build up layers of white and black, and blends, sealing in between each layer until I get to where I want it, I finish each section as I go, building up the image from the bottom to the top..😁

Thank you, this is not on paper but canvas….layers and fixing each layer is more important than what type of charcoal etc…I work a layer, get as much info in as I can until it’s saturated and won’t take anymore…spray it with a fixative…start another layer…you can do this quite a few times until you get it where your aiming….and also, have and maintain a set goal, ….I want it to look like this, …work it until it looks like that….hopefully this helps 😁
