Hello

Thanks for your comments.

I have used nitram charcoal bars,Hard, medium, and soft.

This allows me much more control to get the right values.

The paper is Ingres Archer watercolor paper.

This `paper needs more work to get the darkest tones but the result is much deeper.

Thank you very much for the answer )

Hello

I like to draw with white chalk and black paper

but I prefer to use a white paper and have more control over the values and the shadows with the charcoal, and force myself to use the white of the paper for the lighter tones.

It is like a limited palette but with charcoal.

Yes, but was this done on white or black paper?

What do you use for white charcoal? General pencil?

that's the same way I create my work by letting the paper define the highlights.. but I do struggle with keeping my paper clean to make my high lights stand out..
