In my drawing class, I was asked to draw with charcoal. In this drawing I worked with charcoal pencils and vine charcoal. After I finished the assignment I decided to paint the background black with acrylic paint to enhance my focal point. I wanted a more subtle look to the drawing, so I only shaded what I thought would make the most impact. This drawing unites beauty and roughness.
