• Apply Charcoal — Gently apply the extra-soft vine charcoal stick to your paper. Use the side of the stick for broad strokes and filling large areas, or sharpen to a point for finer lines and details.
• Blend and Refine — Use your fingers, a blending stump, tortillon, or a soft brush to smudge and blend the charcoal. Build up layers for deeper tones or lift charcoal with a kneaded eraser for highlights.
• Fix Your Artwork — Once satisfied with your drawing, apply a workable fixative spray to prevent smudging and preserve your artwork. This is especially recommended for large-scale pieces or if the artwork will be handled frequently.
