Face and Doorway, Sarah Myers

     Creating drawings of this type is very intriguing, as the basic technique is almost opposite that of a usual sketch. Here, the ground of the paper must be used as the shadow, rather than the highlight. It is the density and strength of the pencil that determines the brightness of the glow. Because I have purposefully left the white charcoal unblurred and unblended, you may see in the details the myriad of tiny lines that form the face's shapes and expressions.

Study of a Dog Scratching

   Here's a sketch of a dog, just capturing an unconscious moment.  She is scratching, ears lying back and a long front leg out to brace herself...  The picture's minimal lines are worked in charcoal pencil.

   I have posted two pictures produced in very different artistic vocabularies.   They are expressions of the same horse, flying at an excited canter...
