More fun with charcoal...
This one was done real quick maybe 30 mins. Starting to just really enjoy the use of charcoal. So much quicker then graphite and cleaner look. Instead of getting hung up on details in this piece I decided to just let my hand flow freely and focus on enjoying the process.
Its important to sometimes not take art to seriously and remember why you started doing it in the first place. The relaxing fluid almost therapeutic hand motions of creating the smoke, and the satisfying feeling of wearing away the tip of my charcoal reminded me.
