Four Original White Charcoal Drawings By EdgarsArt

Here are all drawings i have done with White Charcoal so far. There are 4 of them. All of them the same size-A3
Three of them have been already sold, except the Cat .
I wanted to point out some of the most important things i have learned about working with this medium. I cant really say that i am an expert, because i have been learning to draw with for about 3 months now.
Generally speaking,charcoal drawings can be loose or they can be rendered to a high degree of realism. Charcoal drawing is actually closely related to painting. It is really easy to spread charcoal, blend it, and erase the parts you don't need. Or when you have made a mistake, it is possible to erase something and make it as planned. This allows to use the charcoal in a variety of ways.
Some people prefer to work better on toned papers. Typically, when toned papers are used, both white and black charcoal are used in the drawing. Since the paper is toned, the whites are absent and must be applied in charcoal form.

This was my very first charcoal drawing i made. I have been using Dark charcoal for years now, and as an artist i want to expand my knowledge and experience. I saw that other artists started to use white charcoal to draw animal drawings. For me that was intriguing, since i am a person who loves the black and white contrast in just everything.


This is my latest work. In this work i tried a completely different technique . instead of using an eraser to make the dark spots in the wolfs fur,i used dark charcoal pencil. I don't know why i didn't even try it earlier, but taking the fact that it was only my 4th work, i am just in the beginning. I have noticed that white charcoal is a little bit softer than the dark one. I think it is a plus, but only it is harder to sharpen it.
I am planning to do more work like this. Particularly, i am working on a drawing which will be twice the size of these ones. I wont say what it will be yet, but i will post the result and some process photos of it here on Steemit soon!

I will include a link to my verification post, that all of the drawings posted here are done by me: https://steemit.com/art/@edgarsart/edgarsart-original-art-now-verified
