Portrait of Kara

[Jimmie Arroyo]

Hi,

This is my first time using carbon pencils. Thought I'd give them a try as an alternative to charcoal. The brand is Wolff's. The white highlights are still done with charcoal, I don't think there is a white carbon pencil. Matter of fact, I believe they only come in four values, B, 2B, 4B, and 6B. This is 18x12" on 'celeste' colored Ingres paper using a B and 4B. I enjoyed working with them and like how they look so I'll be using them again. Thanks for looking.
