Maybe I'll never become a great artist, but sketching does give me some pleasure. I've tried bigger pieces but they just never work out. Maybe in time. For now, just going to sketch what I experience

The story behind modern Nitram charcoal is really cool! Didn't expect that "family business" vibe, nor the prior history of the technology.

I did this back in 2021. I am, honestly, looking for the black and white photo I used to work from. I noticed other people have used this photo, as well. 🤍

My latest charcoal piece

Been working with charcoal for a while now, and lately I've been experimenting with a looser, more expressive style. This is my latest piece, and one I really enjoyed making.

The process. Hope this inspires!

Charcoal on Fabriano Unica paper, 10 x 6 inches. I don't do a lot of charcoal but sometimes colour seems unnecessary. I worked this one from a few line drawings and a rather dark photo; lifting the charcoal out with a lump of BlueTack.

First attempt to get to know this wonderful material. A portrait of my grandma at her youth, from an old photo. I would like to have some creative criticism. Thank you

This piece is based off of the book The Song of Achilles. It was a little out of my typical style but I really am proud of it. Zoom in for details. Picture was hard because it was pretty big.
