charcoal drawing on canvas board

Preparatory Sketches:

 

"In art history, charcoal was said to be used by many master artists in their preparatory drawings on the canvas before they added paint pigment, this is because charcoal lines are easily painted-over without affecting the color or tone of the overlaid paint. I like that charcoal is lightweight, I find that its dry carbon substance is great to use for shading and smudging in the shadow details of a drawing." ~Tomitheos
