The charcoal sticks I’m mainly using are part of Cretacolor’s Art Chunky line; so big chunky sticks, but broken in half for easier handling :) Kneaded eraser for details and cleanup. For smudging and blending I usually use my fingers, sometimes blending stumps or paper towels, depending on what effect I want to achieve.

Charcoal, yeah. Thank you! :)

Loving all the little details you put in, wonderful work!

Thank you! Glad to hear that I’ve been able to sneak some otherwordly vibes in there as well!

Thank you! :) Getting more practice in has done wonders to the way I approach things.

Nice work, great to see you experimenting with different styles!

Glad you noticed, I was going for a grave/door ambiguity while invoking the classic light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel motif.

Cute piece, I like it!

Thank you!
