My chiaroscuro charcoal drawing for my Drawing 2 class. The elephant and the fisherman are wooden sculptures that my aunt brought back for my dad from the peace corps. I set them up on the floor with a small lamp to the left of them for the lighting. First I covered the entire paper in black charcoal using the larger chalk-like sticks of charcoal and cotton swabs. Then I lightly drew the outline of the figures with a white charcoal pencil. Then I erased the rest with a kneaded eraser, a gum eraser, and a battery powered small eraser. Some of the very light highlights are done in white charcoal.
