When working in charcoal, it’s amazing how much of the process feels in that “messy stage”. It’s only in that last 10% that it starts to come together. It’s nice to look back at the process of older pieces to remind myself of this for my current work. .

I really need to get back making working in my sketchbook part of my regular routine. Recently, life and deadlines have both got in the way, but I really need to make it more of a priority. My biggest artistic gains have always come when I’m sketchbooking regularly.
Looking forward to sharing me new charcoal piece soon so keep your eyes peeled! . 👉 SIGN UP TO MY NEWSLETTER TO GET UPDATES ON MY LATEST WORK, PRINT RELEASES AND ANY OTHER NEWS AT www.kevinmcgivern.com (link in bio)

Work in progress - Finally found some time to work on this guy again today! My schedule has been full with deadlines the past couple of weeks but so happy to be working on this again. I’m thinking this may be the first piece in a series. What do you guys think? Is that something you guys would like to see? .

I get a lot of questions asking what paper/charcoal/pencils I use, so I thought I’d make a post showing everything I use to make a drawing. All of the equipment is listed below and manufacturers tagged in the photo. Hope this helps some of you! .

Blending stumps (any manufacturer will do)
@nitramcharcoal Académie Fusains Charcoal Sticks (H, HB, B)
@nitramcharcoal Bâton de Saule Round stick
Vine charcoal (I have a mixture from different manufacturers)
