Description
Charcoal on paper. (14"x17")Another older work. I don't have a clue when this was done. I don't work in charcoal hardly at all, because I can't stand how it feels on my fingers.

Yes, I don't like the feel of it either and haven't worked with it for probably 18 years or so. This has an almost relief sculpture feel to it.

Charcoal is such a nightmare to work with but you tamed the beast...another reason I don't like you anymore.

I hate charcoal. I doubt I'll ever work with it again. But it was worth it, just to have you not like me. .vaf eht rof sknahT

This is exactly how I feel right now. Also, I hate charcoal for the same reason.

Thanks KJ. I thought I was just weird because I didn't like charcoal. Apparently, not very many people like it either.

It's popular among the ritsy artist who like to be all traditional. You know the ones

They want to get back in touch with the anchient artist spirits..... or some jazz like that. I dunno, I think it's just a terrably messy medium that doesn't really look all that great (most of the time).

Yeah, I never had much luck with it. And to be truthful, I'm glad. I would hate to have to learn to like it. Pencil is so much nicer, but lacking in absolute blackness. I can live with that.

I dunno, 8b is pretty dark.... I only have up to 6b, it serves me well.

That's true. I need to buy a set of pencils, all I ever use is 2b.

Yah! Get your hands on some. They are amzing, I have a set that runs from like 4a to 6b.

Hobby Lobby, is that some shameless promoting? lol. No but really, I've never heard of it, is it a local place?

It's a chain, but I'm not sure how big it is. Great place to buy art supplies though.

Hobby Lobby is pretty big. (the actual store, not the chain) It's not exactly a place you go for atmosphere, but they do have almost anything you'd want to draw an paint with.

Get some Dewart pencils. They are the best, and not too spendy.

I'll keep an eye out for them.

Despite your dislike for the medium, you commanded it well in this piece. I'm just the opposite... I love the messy feel of charcoal.

Thanks BQ, and thanks for the fav. I don't mind getting messy either, I just hate the feel of charcoal on paper. Graphite I can handle. LOL

Believe it or not, I hate charcoal for the same exact reason, I hate all kinds of surfaces (for art really) just because of the texture, strange, but this still looks great!

Thank you very much. From the amount of works I've seen in charcoal, I never thought so many people felt this way about it too.

I like it too, charcoal suits you well. Even if you may not like it, it likes you!

LOL Thanks Peter. I love how charcoal looks, I just can't hardly stand to touch it. I also have a thing about styrofoam, I can't stand to touch it either. I'm a freak.

Damn, we all got a lil something weird. Some folk can't stand chalk boards n nails. I cant touch certain plastic, its got a weird sound when you run your fingers against it.
I know what its like to be a freak.
