The Charcoal Technique

In reality, charcoal is a powerful medium for creating lifelike images by emphasizing contrast, texture, and depth. Its smooth texture allows for excellent blending and a wide range of tones from subtle highlights to rich deep shadows. Artists create layers with charcoal, starting with simple strokes and gradually adding details. The flexibility of the technique allows them to capture intricate details such as skin textures, hairstyles and textiles, while conveying emotion and depth through precise shadows and sharp contrasts.
