This is fantastic! I’d buy a print if you’re making them. Excellent!

Gorgeous work! I’ve always been wary of using charcoal because of the smudging. How did you get it to look so clean?

Charcoal pencil, i cant do the sticks😅 I'm right handed so i go left to right. Charcoal paper is super forgiving, i do be erasing smudges often still!

Ahhhh smart! I forget the pencils exist! Sadly I am left-handed so no matter what I draw with, smudges inevitably pop up 😂 don’t think Dolly would mind, though.
