charcoal drawing
Smudgy black sketch
A charcoal drawing is a work of art made with charcoal sticks or pencils on paper.
The medium produces rich blacks and soft gradations, allowing for dramatic contrasts and expressive mark-making.
Charcoal drawings are often preliminary studies for paintings, though many stand as finished works: The exhibition featured Renaissance charcoal drawings.
