        My 1st attempt at full charcoal sketch

        Hello All !

        Drawing inspiration from Ali’s youtube videos, here is my attempt at a charcoal sketch of one of his reference images.

        Looking forward to do more artwork and improve on my skills 🙂

        Please let me know your thoughts

          I like how the diffused background makes the leaf and waterdrops pop.

            Ja wat Lori zegt, en daardoor ook de waterdruppels tot hun recht komen☺️

              Really nice and beautiful to look at. Charcoal is something I till now only used to sketch. Maybe should give it a try some day. Anyway……well done. Like it very much…..👏

                @pacific8118 Thanks a lot ! You really should try ! I was skeptical at first because it is said its difficult to get light tones with charcoal but it was a good learning experience

                    Wonderful job with values and shading. The realism of the water droplet is impressive, especially for a first charcoal sketch

                          Nice contrast on the leaf as it really makes it look real. Also the water drop looks real
