    Last year I worked on a 4 part workshop with Strathmore on how to draw realistically with charcoal. I thought I would upload them on my channel as well, to help those of you that are interested in learning to draw with charcoal. This is part 1 in the series and the other 3 parts will be uploaded over the next week 🥰💕

    In my high school art class we were doing figure drawing, and the paper we had to work with Had. No. Tooth. It was so smooth that none of the charcoal stuck to the paper, and it was so hard to make any details. We also only had school paper towels for blending and the charcoal we worked with wasn’t in pencil form, but in shorts sticks. It was a fun assignment but also really frustrating.
