    Thank you Vinoshitto! yeah I've been using charcoal for years. The only medium I haven't used much is watercolors. But I just ordered a set to play around with.

    That's spot on man! The hair really impresses me as I find it difficult to stay fine and sharp with charcoal.

    Just gotta sharpen the charcoal with a razor blade. i usually carve out the point of the pencil about an inch or so to give it that super sharp point. The charcoal usually stays sharper longer

    Very very nice, the hair really is great. I always end up smudging charcoal with my gorilla mitts
    Play nice now people or your naughty posts will go in the Shit Box!
