Hello Jen, thank you very much for your class. I have never tried charcoal and above all I have never done a value scale... but this time, following you, it has been easy!

Here is part 1. Part 2 and 3 in the next days.

Following the drawing-building process you explained in this fantastic course, everything seems easier:

1st stage) loose marks... get to know the subject!

2nd stage) refine and correct... values!

3rd stage) add details!

I'll keep on practice and, as you said, even if the course is finished, for me this is the beginning of charcoal esploration, study and experimentation.

Practice, practice, pratice... and have fun! Thank you Jen.

PS: Today I tried to draw a sphere and to understand how to represent different tones.
