I have only picked up charcoal a few times before. I didn't have ground charcoal so sanded down some charcoal from a stick and used a blending stump. I played around and came up with this "from the ashes". This is funny, but even though my son and daughter look 10 billion times better than this, I see a little glimpse  of their features in this drawing.  (Please don't tell them, they might disown me!). But it is funny how where our creativity takes us to someone close to us. This was a great class by Jerney, who has absolutely magical skills!
