Drawing with Charcoal: Simple Shapes

Learn to Draw for a richer life
It is good for mental and physical health
This is a video with basic instruction on how to draw with charcoal. The scene is a pasture at sunset whe the cattle are kicking up a lot of dry dusk. I call it Millar time because I have watched too many beer commercials :).

Compressed Charcoal Pencils
These pencils are made from compressed charcoal and are good for making darker marks but cannot be blended or softened so easily
Good for the later stages of the drawing for precise marks
I use a General 6B but other hardnesses are available

Vine Charcoal
Very soft charcoal good for blending and easy to erase
Good for the early stages of the drawing , layout and light areas of the drawing.
Comes in soft medium and hard

Blending tools
The Finger
Good for that “hands on” quality
Just remember to look in the mirror before heading into public
Blending Stomp, Tortillion
A piece of soft rolled paper that comes in various sizes
Blends the charcoal very well and can also be used to produce marks
Chamois , paper towel, toilet paper
All three are soft and work well to blend larger areas

Eraser
Kneaded eraser (1), or a erasing pencil (2)  are both useful for erasing charcoal
