Finished this work, and I have loved working with charcoal. I will definitely use it again

I am new to charcoal, and teaching myself charcoal on canvas.

I am not sure my technique is "drawing", but its not exactly painting either. What would you call what I do?

I just completed this charcoal portrait ,and I am very curious to know your reaction for this portrait 🙂‍↔️

Still very much a WIP but any advice on this, I haven't used charcoal since school. A long time ago

A wip update on my drawing of Stanley Tucci. Inspired by the photography of Luis Salazar (@ilustreets) the idea was to use this double exposure technique to combine this portrait of Stanley with a photo I took In Florence, Italy.

My family is a big fan of his shows "Searching for Italy" and "Tucci in Italy" so I wanted to do this tribute!

So, I’ve always loved art in many different mediums, but have always just kind of accepted that drawing isn’t really my thing. And I’ve always kind of hated it. UNTIL CHARCOAL. So here are my first three pieces! If anyone has any tips or ideas of what direction to follow next, I’d love to hear them!
