Charcoal Powder Tips. Hello all, I have been playing around with charcoal powder recently but have been having a difficult time getting a consistent result. It is either away too heavy or non-existent. Any tips? Don’t have a lot of experience with charcoal. Looking forward to doing more.

ok this is an old technique a teacher showed me years ago. to seal charcoal drawing without spending the extra money on charcoal sealing spray go to the dollarstore and get a good can of hairspray! it works and i still do it from time to time. also get one of those draws that you can store the drawings flat that's perfect for it's size, and to keep it clean cover the drawing sides with newsprint.

For richer dark tones, you need to use a compressed charcoal. You can use a stick or powdered.

You should be able to balance that out with a paper towel and compressed charcoal.
Charcoal drawing on paper by Casey Baugh r/Art This is a subreddit about art, where we are serious about art and artists, and discussing art in a mature, substantive way.
Now, the drawings themselves turn out fine (even though with their new scanner I have to turn the output levels up later) but the problem is...the specks. There's always these little black specks that you can't really see on the drawing itself, but the scanner picks them up. And getting rid of them is an incredibly monotonous task.
A couple of charcoal pencils in different softnesses from different brands to try and find which you like best. Some natural charcoal sticks.
