I like this artist's style very much! Oils I've always considered second to none in terms of the textures and realism one can achieve. I like keeping a hoard of cotton buds at hand when using charcoal, using the compressed form in pencils creates that annoying fine residue that sits on top of the drawing and smudges everything.

I will have to practice using palette knives with painting at some point; I know one of my favourite online artists creates some beautiful impressionism with them:

Thank you for the link!

She is really good with the palette knives. I like some of her paintings, but some of them are to strong in colour for my taste. I agrea with you on your statement about oils. I haven't used the compressed chorcoal much and haven't tried using them for detaild works, but if I do I will remember your tip on cotten buds

I'm using it right now on my sketch though, and I like that it doesn't erase as easily as the willow charcoal, it creates nice effects.

This is a drawing I sold on the last exhibition I attended. It's drawn with willow charcoal.

Holy schmapply dapply, that's awesome Froya!

I'm just learning how to use charcoal, and that's really, really good! It's so real-looking. :O

So are these the Chaos Emeralds from Sonic The Hedgehog or the rainbow crystals from Sailor Moon?
