SKETCHING:
http://www.bestfamousart.com/After preparing all the necessary things needed for charcoal painting, let’s start to draw your sketch. Anything from people to fruits and vegetables can be drawn. When you begin to draw, sketch shapes lightly because by working lightly, you can erase easily if you have any mistake. Start drawing with a clean page. Gather up your charcoal, chamois and eraser, and start sketching. Use the side of your charcoal stick to draw your sketch. Continue fleshing out your subject using both the side of your charcoal and the point, especially along the edges to really make some dramatic lines. Take your chamois and wipe your entire drawing down. Using the chamois gives you a nice light grey background and enables you to later emphasize areas with a kneaded eraser. Then go in with a kneaded eraser and pull out some highlights. Knead your eraser to the shape you need and gently swipe it over your paper. You'll be amazed by how white those areas will become. You have darks and you have lights in your sketch. Focus on your drawing where the darkest darks and lightest lights are. Make sure you have a nice range of grays. A good way to preserve your sketches is to spray them with spray fixative or hairspray.
