My daughter gave me a Daler Rowney set of charcoal pencils for Father's Day. I am delighted to use them. Never experienced charcoal drawing before. This freehand drawing was done using an HB drawing pencil. I am amazed at how dark the lines are. They smudge easily so best have a tissue handy.

Well that's a great Father's Day gift for you, Frank, and I know you'll put them to good use, as is the case here...my daughter has used charcoal pencils on occasion so I know what you mean by the smudging...tho' sometimes that is a good thing as it helps in the shading and shadowing...it's amazing how you can sketch a few shapes, lines, and squiggles and suddenly they are a great drawing...a cute and comical one here.

Proves again that you're a very talented artist, Frank.
By using only few lines, one see instantly where your creation stands for.
Proves your skills in that matter! Very well done.

Absolutely delightful sketch, Frank! Made me smile. :D

And great technique, too. Very clean and precise.

I tend to make a terrible mess with charcoal. My hands turn black, the paper get smudged, my clothes get smudged. I do not have your talent and skill!

This appears to be a fine medium to display your talent Frank.
Not only is this excellent, it also makes us smile which is an added bonus.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
