So, i know I haven’t posted here before,

I have been watching these forums for a wile… and then I thought I should post some of my new stuff on here. So, I am going to!

Anyways I am in high school and I am in a drawing class : )
And before this class, I only used pencil. Now in my class we started to use charcoal!!!
As soon I started to use it I feel in love with It : ) I can only imagine the effects your critique’s would have on my drawings!!

Anyway I would love to hear you views and comments on my art : )

(Sorry for being so, … well… generic )








This is the picture i worked off of!!

the picture is of me

very good charcoal..i understand that its hard to use charcoal is that true .. I have tried but i get no control .
welcome to drawspace

Hey ,
Well it depends who you talk to… I would say that charcoal is difficult to control :|
Honestly, though I think your better off asking someone else .
I only have some experience with this medium.
But then again last semester I took photography and I did not do ‘great’ in that class :/
In closing I leave you with this saying from my art teacher!!
“Don’t over blend your charcoal ”

I hope some one that love him read his poem and try to get the boy some help!

Are you talking about the signature? It's the opening lyrics to a song by Disturbed. I checked out the website and they seem to do a lot of political, state of the world songs, like System of a Down does, and Rage Against the Machine did. They redid Phil Collins 'Land of Confusion', showing my age.

edit--
Sorry, it was Genesis, not just Phil. I thought of that last night when I remembered the video. That was way back when MTV actually played videos all day instead of a bunch of 'reality' shows and crap.

I am confused on what you mean, by

Regarding getting 'help'
Art is my life
I spend my Lunch, homeroom, and study halls down in the art Room.
i most times feel as if im even at school
I go to a catholic school, and i myself am not catholic.. so lots of times i feel very alone
but i have lots of friend.. but not many at my school
But i am happy
My art teachers are amazing, and i have plenty of people to talk to if i need to

Nice... i find it very inspiring and workable

I work mainly with charcoal and love it. However It is hard to shade with charcoal the same way you do graphite. I use blending stumps and tortillions, chamios sometimes. I reccomend that you start out using wood bound charcoal(pencils) untill you get the feel of it.

Here is a link to some of my work. All of the portraits and anatomy studies are done with charcoal

Huerta very nice skull .... I would never have guessed charcoal .

I like your work Huerta3

Thanks UKartist and Kim. I love using charcoal, it gives better tones, blacker blacks. I have done some large works with charcoal sticks also but I perfer pencils.

Thanks about the nails too. I need to get seperate albums.
