Add final flourishes using erasers and charcoal pencils to give a windswept appearanceThen add white with charcoal pencils and pastel to your lightest valuesAdd any fine detail such as the eye with sharp black charcoal pencilsLayer up gradually using willow charcoal for mid tones and compressed charcoal for dark tonesPhotos by Ian Gray. Desaturate and grid your photos prior to printing. This makes it easier to see the tonal values
Wao Sarah I love your style so delicate and original, I love how the birds look in the pastel technique. How do you make the birds look so real in the cake technique? You are wonderful, God keep blessing your hands.
Hi Sarah: I want to learn how to use charcoal and try to make one of those birds.
What is the course where I can learn the technique? Or what is the name of the course to learn the use of charcoal. Your work is very nice, I really like it!
Hi! These charcoal birds are beautiful! What type of birds are they?
I love the whimsical feel that they have with the tossed/ruffled feathers. The first bird is my favorite of this group.
