An Adventure in Charcoal!

                                                               Charcoal

This piece is by Than (age 17).  Than continued to study values, texure, edges and different tools when appyling charcoal.  Observing values (lights and darks) allowed this quitar to come to life.  Working with the tooth of the paper and different tools, Than discovered how to make a stroke that had a wood-like appearance and make some edges disappear and fade into the background.  Well done, Than!
