Use different types of charcoal to achieve various textures within a single artwork.
Charcoal is one of the highly reversible drawing mediums. By creating a wide variety of expressive marks with charcoal, including lines, hatching, cross-hatching, stippling, and smudging students can practice to convey a sense of depth, texture, and detail to their work.
The other technique covers in this workshop is layering. Charcoal, smudge blender, and eraser
can be layered to build up depth and opacity. Layering is essential for developing complex
shading and rendering realistic features and volume. The unique characteristics of charcoal
makes it a favoured choice for students looking to create expressive and dynamic drawings.
