Steven,
you've taken your time to explain the whole process in detail. You made the understanding of it so much easier for me, and I am grateful for that. Thank you!

Patty and David,
thank you so much for your kind words! I am surprised that the charcoal drawing has had such positive feedback for the most part.
Wish I could develop it a bit further but I feel a little limited...
It's soft charcoal and it smudges a lot and also loses strength as you go. I wanted to emphasize the highlights a bit more as well, but the paper itself is white, and the white sticks or conte crayon seem unable to overpower the charcoal and its dust.
