Description

High contrast assignment #2. This one couldn't be ink (what I should've saved the ink for instead of the panda, but hey, I didn't know at the time.)

On the bright side I had an excuse to use more watercolor, always a good thing.

The charcoal was the worst idea ever for this. Seriously. I tend to work kinda close to my stuff, and at one point I was pressing so hard with the charcoal stick that I made a pile of coal-dust, breathed it, and the coughed and spewed it all over the thing. It was a paaain to try and erase off, and I just gave up at that after a while. You can tell if you look super close, but I up'ed the contrast a little to fix some of it.

I used Scott's picture (and cropped it in) as a photo ref: [link]

Ya charcoal is one of those things that is just a mess for me. Not mess as in like paint were you can keep it from getting everywhere on the project. A mess as in like I cant touch anything on the paper because you will get charcoal on it. I don't know it is a skill I'm never gonna try again if I can help it.
