You cover the paper with charcoal and you “Draw” by rubbing out the chalk revealing the paper and when you finish you have a “normal” drawing… *sigh* I really didn’t explain that well. Sorry.

Interesting. Seems to result in an image that is produced through a process called solarization in black and white photography.

Yeah we did a whole month on photography, couldn’t come up with the name there though. It’s a technique I’ve used only one other time. You need a lot of practice, confidence and skill to do it well

I've never tried it. If I ever get set up for b&w photography again, it is something I want to experiment with.

Inverse drawing, Highwulf? A negative? It's a nice picture, either way, lol.

Lol Walt. A charcoal negative would be one of the best ways to think about it. I’m glad you like it.

Our usual model Kiara here in her chair here. This was a little harder than it may eventually have appeared once finished. There were things going on in the background, internally and otherwise but I am happy with how it turned out

This was another little challenge. I can’t think much of what to say about if I must. A combo of chalk, charcoal and a bit of ink too.
Really enjoyed making it. Hope you all like it

Sort of working on a couple of other pieces. Soon, will upload when I can. For all means please feel free to upload your own work. In the meantime

Finished a piece yesterday. I will upload soon

So I christened the new sketch book with this.

Happy Halloween my freaky fiendish friends. This was finished a week ago but really wanted this to be a special and apt piece.
Here’s my 2023 Halloween drawing.

Thanks, Highwulf. It's good.

I like it Highwulf. Thanks for sharing

Nice juxtaposition of all the elements that make up Halloween. Well done.

Thanks for sharing your work Highwulf! Keep going and good luck with it!

Hey guys. Not forgotten you all. Just been a hard couple of weeks. I have a few things going on which I will upload when I feel it complete

This is the Canadian New Forest at dusk

Nice work.

Very nice! I looked it up expecting something in Canada, but apparently there is a "small settlement" called Canada in Southern England, and New Forest is a National Park.

I didn’t know about the small settlement in south of England called Canada but I love in the middle of the new forest. It’s actually the largest natural woodland in the entirety of England.
I really love the Canadian landscape and likewise the scenery of the new forest all around so this lot of paintings done round the same time I named Canadian New Forest set
