Charcoal drawing

 

Charcoal drawing is a technique that involves using charcoal, a black and brittle medium made from burnt organic materials, to create artworks. Charcoal comes in different forms, such as sticks, pencils, and powder, allowing artists to achieve a range of effects. Charcoal drawings are known for their deep contrasts and expressive qualities. Artists can create both subtle gradations and bold, dramatic marks by adjusting the pressure and blending techniques. Charcoal drawings often have a textured appearance due to the nature of the medium. This technique is favored for its ability to capture light and shadow in a dynamic and impactful way.
