Charcoal it is!


My first encounter with a charcoal pencil - from the cover page of a Harry Potter book :-)
Scan quality is poorer than I expected, but it still is close to the original sketch.
Let me know what you think of it!!

There is so much to learn - I still can't decide my favorite medium. I had always sketched with a regular pencil before. But after trying the charcoal pencil, I am in love with it. Well anyway, we will see how it goes. I just hope this interest lasts!

  1. Nice work Neelam! Keep up the enthu... shed all inhibitions... next time go for something grand and intricate... you'll be able to do it.. I know.
    Enjoy!
    (Sigh! I wish I too could muster the courage to pick up the pencil again :( )
