Thirty-five minute sketch of a petrified A&W ketchup packet I found inside my fridge. This thing is the rock-hard evidence of my frequently poor late night diet choices.
@RosieDraws Sounds counter-intuitive, but I draw with really sharp pencils - usually I use a blue Staedtler lead holder with 8B pencil lead (or a mechanical pencil with HB lead). I sharpen them with a circular lead pointer or fine grit sandpaper. For the parts that need to be soft, I lightly cross hatch the area with the sharp pencils and use a blending stick or my finger to smudge or blur. Hope this helps.

The one subject that I don’t like to draw, so I have to force myself to draw them. Whenever I do draw them, they end up looking weird.

A charcoal study of Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s last known work and his masterpiece. An appropriate post for today.

A close friend recently lost their family pet, Joey. As a tribute gift, I did his portrait.
I usually just draw people, so this presented quite the challenge for me. I have never attempted to draw animals/pets.

Charcoal art is hard for me, how do you keep your lines clean?
