arts lounge... gay forum... hmmm and you are asking where the connection?lol

You are missing my point in my cynic pun in my previous post. As you mention in your post that the this forum topic is dead, you are literally 'poking the dead'. Hence if you look at 'cyanide & happiness' comix strip. 'Poking' on FB would get you better response these days. But than never mind... Lol just my cynic nature at work.

P/s:your works are pretty awesome.

is he using charcoal and conte? I like the process

[zactorus]

He's using charcoal. Nitram is the brand. Heard it's good quality charcoal but it's not being sold here in sg. I got some from the UK but have yet to try it 

[Y.J.W]

wah, wish i could do it like him. Im changing from charcoal to conte coz i have a very high tendency to smudge in the process. conte create a more intense dark tones too

[zactorus]

haha smudging creates the nice expressive effects sometimes. but it's harder to control as well. conte is more like compressed charcoal.. can control better and good for small details.

Actually if I m not wrong the beauty of charcoal is the way it can be 'smudged' to create the tones and shades. You shouldn't be too concern about it, make it a part of your expression. A kneading rubber will help pick it up or bring out the highlights. Conte is more 'waxy'. Totally different effects between the two. But all being said, use what you feel comfortable and more practice will bring out the best in you. Don't be too concern with getting a perfect piece each time. No such thing as perfect piece. Each time you look at it, there is always something you wish to add or subtract. You won't be able to see your progress but over time when you look back at your works, you will. Good luck.

i get this habit that when i'm too immersed in the worl, i forgot to take a step back to look at the work or my hands pressed over the charcoal areas. Then, i overdo it in the process, conte feels good to me than charcoal though. Thanks for the explanations! I'll take notice of it the next time i use charcoal and explore further with the mediums

Incidentally in today's ST article for next year M1 fest, there was a photo of her work featuring her charcoal on newspaper.
