Charcoal Pencils for Beginners - Simple Still Life

Join me in this full charcoal pencils tutorial designed with newcomers in mind. This is a full step-by-step lesson so download the reference photos below, check the materials list, and follow along!

MATERIALS YOU'LL NEED
Dark/black charcoal pencil (best to have a couple to work between).
- White charcoal pencil.
- Any mid-toned drawing paper (I use a mid-grey drawing paper by Strathmore so it doesn't t have to be pastel paper). A tan colour would work well too.
- Paper bending stump.
Craft knife and sanding block (or piece of sandpaper) to sharpen pencils.
