Thank you once again for your kind words! The only time I use Carbon, Charcoal, Conte or Graphite in pencil form is during the sketching phase & the finer details. The majority of the work is made up of simply applying grounded up/powdered Carbon, Charcoal, Conte & Graphite with the use of brushes [various sized flat & Filbert Taklon bristles].
A very, very small amount is applied, almost to the point of just lightly brushing the powder, onto fine sandpaper & then applied accordingly to the surface. Word of caution, if you plan on using these mediums in this manner make sure to always apply Carbon or Charcoal first & the Graphite last [Graphite are metallic flakes & do not adhere to compounds such as Carbon, Charcoal or Conte]. Give it a try, I'm very confident it'll put a huge smile on your face when you realise what can be achieved & how much you'll end up drawing!
Let me know of your progress!
