Materials:
A4 Daler Rowney grey pastel paper
Charcoal (black and white)
Paint brushes
Tortillion
Magic Tape
Time: About 3-4 Hours
Ref: [link]

Thank you for having a look

"I dreamed a dream..."

and she was definitely in it! (mine that is)

Her eyes are freaking GORGEOUS, Paula, and not to mention those lips! Wow.

I feel like charcoal yields the best results in less time compared to graphite. I just could never get used to the messiness of it all (coming from a mechanic ). I'm glad you're giving it a trial run! I'd love to see what else you come up with in the future.

She's a pretty girl.

Thank you, I'm glad it looks okay. It was fun playing with charcoal and it was sooo fast! It wasn't as messy as I thought it might me, so that was a good thing. There will be more for sure

Well that's good! I wouldn't be surprised if you were to get hooked. It's amazing stuff!

I know my first "realistic" drawings came from using charcoal for the first time at age 12 or 13. Wish I could find them...

Charcoal! Wasn't it really messy?
But a fantastic result for only 3-4 hours, so it's got that going for it!

I know! I don't know what's got into me It was messy but not as much as I thought it would be and it was soooo much fun I could have spent a few more hours on it and I know it wold have been much better, but it kind of wasn't the point this time, I'll definitely do more.

I suggest that you go see it somewhere... it's really good I tell you.
Almost 3 hours but worth the time IMHO.
The DVD and blurays are going to be available on March 22nd methinks.
