I drew this tonight in a 6"x8" Strathmore sketchbook I just bought. Better paper and cheaper than the bound sketchbooks. They are cute and just as chic. The 400 series loved the charcoal. I am going to fashion an elastic band to keep it shut, and I will be in business on the run. Now... back to my work.

Beautiful! I can't even fathom how you achieved such volume in those pears - and did all of this in one evening!
Those are gorgeous pears Robin! You inspire me to go out and buy some to try drawing them too.
Fantastic pears Robin!! They look so real. This charcoal is really agreeing with you. Michael must be proud. :)

Shirley - the volume knowledge comes from being taught to draw cones, cylindars and cubes before anything else. Learning to really see what happens when light hits these objects is the key.
Jeanette - I think you would like these pads, Jeanette. However they do come in smaller and larger sizes. Easy to cut out and frame if you get a winner.
Stacy- HI! Yes I am enjoying the charcoal. It is such an ancient tool, and yet with todays manufacturing possibilties it is brought into the 21st century in pencil form. Loveing the depth that can be achieved.
Beautiful pears Robin - I'm amazed at your handling of charcoal, there's so much soft value change in this one. Great!
Amira
Beautiful Robin! I love the reflections.
Robin now you got me wanting to try charcoal. Your play on light is wonderful. There is a romance about black and white drawings.
Sweet pears, wonderful reflections. You make charcoal look so clean!
So nicely rendered, Robin. I'm amazed at how luminous this is---didn't know you could get that with charcoal!
Amira - How are you? Thanks for stopping by. Yes, This medium keeps amazing me as well.
John - I agree, this RI was nicely set up. I am glad that I have captured it as well.
Toni - I hope that you do give it a go. So versitile, and yet so basic. No fuss, no muss, with B&W.
Robyn - Truly when I began with this medium, I was prepared to be challenged by the residue. However, it has proved me wrong.
Laura - Thank you Laura. Yes, charcoal, when coaxed can give quite amazing results. A depth that is lacking in graphite.
Lovin' your pears Robin not to mention your lovely gift boxes. I've just spent wa-y too much time here...but what a treat it's been.
Susan - Thank you for stopping by and saying hello. I am glad that you found it enjoyable. I will update with some new work very soon.
Lovely Robin! What makes this so beautiful is your touch and the way you have understood light.

Mary - it is definitely helpful to know how light hits form. Makes the work more fun.
Margaret - thank you so much. My Pair appreciate your visiting. Makes you want to go find a juicy one doesn't it.
