Re: Portraits in charcoal
Awesome! Portraits have a great mood to them and are drawn in a masterful way. Thank you for sharing Jerome!

Re: Portraits in charcoal
Masterful work. Since I am a novice using charcoal, what side of the paper did you use? For pastel I was told to use the less grainy side, the one that has the label. Could you comment about it?
