That's really a fun exercise, I love drawing drapery, too. I would suggest you try drawing two different ones and showing the difference in textures. It's really fun and you'll learn a lot!

Great use of charcoal. I find fabric one of the hardest things to render with this medium.

Very nice! I always found working with charcoal to be very difficult, but at the same time it's very rewarding seeing each piece finished.

Yeah, when I first started doing charcoal pieces, I fought it tooth and nail. Up till that point I did mostly comic work which was much smaller and very tight line wise. This was the complete opposite but I grew to love it all the same.

I think the thing that was most difficult for me was subtractive drawing, but the effect produced was pretty cool. It's very rewarding if you can put up with blackened hands and smudges on clothes! It can give you some interesting perspective on ways to do your other work too.

Subtractive is pretty much the method for most of these charcoal pieces. I have this squeeze bottle that is full of powdered charcoal and I use it to put down a dark tone on the page before I start. Then its just a matter of laying in the darker shadows and pulling out the lights. I think my fingers have a permanent charcoal tint to them.

Oh that sounds much more convenient; I've never used powdered charcoal, just the vines and sticks. Ha ha yeah, I think the messiness was one thing that made me stop using it. Love the effect, but I kept ruining my clothes.

Looks pretty ghostly to me.. My imagination always seems to get the better of me *looks over shoulders whilst sitting in the dark*. Nice study, good amount of contrast. You never stop and think about how beautifully fabric falls until you're required to.

Thanks. I've actually always liked doing studies like this.
