This is what happens when I haven't drawn from life in a long time. It's all a little off! But, it was fun doing it and especially fun using charcoal. I forgot how nice it feels to smear the charcoal and and how dark it applies.

This week was pretty busy so I didn't have a lot of time to draw, unfortunately. One afternoon, while Eamon was eating his snack, I drew a few dirty dishes on the table. Using a sharpie, there's not much room for error, which made it a little more challenging and exciting. Even though I only had a few minutes, I was able to get in the zone. Drawing is like meditating, really.

This is Eamon's first charcoal. His favorite part seemed to be the smearing. It's certainly fun giving them different art materials to work with. They obviously love it!

Gio's charcoal does have some shapes similar to the
Brownie camera. The circle with the lines radiating is the winding knob, the large circle is the lens, and the long curved line on the right is the square shape of the camera. I will challenge him with a still life again. He understood the concept, so why not?
