Charcoal's softness in drawing stems from its ease of blending and smudging, allowing me to create smooth transitions and subtle gradations of tone. This ability to manipulate the medium makes it ideal for capturing soft, atmospheric effects and conveying a sense of depth and volume in a drawing. I can harness the unique properties of charcoal to create drawings that are both expressive and captivating, with a distinct sense of softness and atmosphere. This was an exploration of the lighter values to give it the feeling of a memory.
