Hello, I am new to charcoal and thought I'd post. I have been drawing for a while, but I just haven't done much charcoal work. I did my first charcoal a year ago and then recently made my second two pieces. Does anyone have any tips or pointers? I seem to have the most trouble with backgrounds...

Here's some of my latest charcoal work - charcoal seems to be very popular at the moment. Andalusian stallion "Fandango" (A3): Cheeky Shetland pony stallion (A4): Yellow Labrador "Chloe" (A3): Friesian stallion "Dirk van de Jonker" (A3): Hope you like the portraits. ~i

Here's my latest charcoal portrait. Friesian gelding, size A3. Hope you like him. :D

And another one....Irish Draught X TB mare. The photo didn't come out great, the paper is really white. Charcoal, A3. Hope you like it! :D

I thought I'd share one of my latest horse commissions. This is 'Nicky', a young Friesian gelding. He was drawn in charcoal (size A4). Hope you like him! :-)

Hi guys, I haven't posted in a while.. Here's one of my latest horse commissions - a Friesian stallion in charcoal (size A3). Hope you like him! :D
