Here is my Grandpa. I spent about a half an hour on this one and used charcoal whith a ChinaWhite pencil. I have a concern with the pencil. It seems to blend in with the charcoal instead of laying on top, making it more of a grey than white. I want to be able to improve this technique of using a white chalk with the charcoal on a grey medium. Any advice on that would be great. This drawing is approx. 8"x11".
