Charcoal on gessoed sketchbook paper

Vine Charcoal and Oil Pastel make for a messy, smudgy experience. A certain amount of messiness can make a process feel more real and human. When things aren’t perfectly polished, it reflects a genuine effort, imperfections, and growth. In personal life, letting go of the need for everything to be tidy can promote a more authentic existence. The hat is a Stormy Chromer. It also evolved out of a mess. More on that later. Peace.

I was skeptical whether I could get the inner and outershadows of the avocade but I did it. And the texture of the paper helped a lot. Kudos to me!!!
