Graphite vs Charcoal
I like the drama of tone in charcoals vs the subtlety of graphite. Here is a sketch from my notebook done in pencil
I do 2 or 3 a day. This is the model for the charcoal in the earlier post.

I use to work in charcoal ALL the time, but I hated the black ring under my fingernails. And since (back then) I worked everyday, I had nasty fingernails everyday. So I gave up charcoal. But, your work reminds me how much I loved that medium. It’s really beautiful, the contrast is really dramatic while retaining it’s “soft” qualities.

I have nasty fingernails for sure. I find it blends than graphite because it doesn’t soften as much.
Thanks for your kind comment. Please check on my progress and I welcome criticism.
