This is an older piece I discovered I hadn't uploaded here. It's a piece that is started and finished as a complete charcoal drawing. Then I fix the charcoal to keep it from rubbing off and paint over it with watercolor. The charcoal becomes a great underpainting and gives those deep shadows. I've done several pieces this way, though it's been a while since the last one.
nice piece

DeleteSome of the best ways to stumble on new techniques is by making mistakes. I don't know a lot about drawing but after reading you post I took a closer look at the shading and could see what you were
