Beautiful rendering. I loved working with the charcoals - way back in the day, i may need to revisit this as well. Thanks for the inspirations! I remember seeing a local artist who used lamp black it was very impressive... he did animal portraits for people in the mall.

dude.
you totally DO need to revisit them.
i find that everything i do,...hell,...doesn't even have to be artistic in nature,...
(although, it's debatable that all things ARE or can be artistic in nature,...uhm,...
but i'm really straying off the reservation now,...what was i saying? oh yeah!)
i find that everything is relative,...or,...
everything i do artistically relates to one another.
even digitally.
i find all of it somehow influencing everything i do.
the more diverse you are, the more diverse you become, the more diverse directions you take,...
it's almost mathematical in a sense,...endless,...
i,...
sheesh,...
i really have strayed off the reservation huh?
probably wished you'd never commented now.
heh.
just go do some charcoals!
now!!

Aw, so beautiful! How could this not brighten up anybody's day? I love the title too.
Also I checked out cinquain. I didn't even know that it was possible to achieve such detail with charcoal.

Ahh love how soft it is. Is this vine charcoal?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nope.
i'm a scaredy cat when it comes to vine. no. seriously. i am.
i should try it though. i'm always researching and experimenting with
different pencils, charcoals, inks, papers, etc,...
however,...this is just good old general's charcoal pencils.
amazingly, they're actually held in pretty high esteem among charcoal artists.
damn. now see what you did?
don't you know by now not to get me started????
thanks P!

Ha, seriously?! Why so? It's so easy to use...and honestly I found it a lot more forgiving. (I smudge like a boss. Holy shit, if it weren't for Photoshop I'd be boned.)
Ooh. I think I've used a charcoal pencil about once ever. I have one floating around somewhere, but I'm so much more used to the sticks.
I do, but I like this way more!

thanks man.
balance was definitely on my mind.
it's a simple piece really, but i almost tweaked it to death.
for something that was just meant for practice, i put WAY too much time into it.
thanks again.
