That’s very fine detailing! What medium do you work with? Charcoal, crayons or acrylic colors?

I like to work with crayons. As a unique pencil, I prefer the black one between these, because it has a bit of wax, and for me is not so quick as a graphite one. And sometimes I want to control that the speed to draw were not so quick and with a larger scale of tones. I prefer oil colours than acrylics, but these last are more practical. Charcoal is wonderful, I love so much but as a so raw stuff, only is suitable when someone has so clear what he wants to express. Thanks for your comment. Best wishes dear ❤

You seem to experiment with quite many mediums. I aim to try out charcoal paintings now.
Not so much color paintings, although I love gazing at hues and shades of Nature

This is only a metaphor to describe benefits and disadvantage about charcoal drawings. Have a nice day.
