 Hello Everyone. I hope you're all having a great day. For a while now, I've been seeing quite alot of artists creating beautiful and mesmerising works of art using white charcoal on black cardboard. Some people regard to this form of art as"Negative Drawing" because you basically use a light material to draw on a dark paper instead of the normal dark medium on white paper. The light medium here is white charcaol pencil and it is quite popular for its special effects art creation. I decided to try my hands on this type of drawing today to see the pros, cons and how comforting it feels using both mediums. Since it was my first time, I decide to make a drawing of something that's got alot of white colour. Something not too easy and not too difficult to draw, a human skull. Firstly, I sketched out the outline of the skull and added some of its features with the white charcoal.  Next, I began to shade all areas that's got white colours with the white charcoal pencil.   I did some blending to the skull and shaded the teeth and other areas that required a white colour until i got a satisfactory result.  My observations. The black card I used seemed very reflective and you could see that in the pictures. But I observed that photos taken from certain angles where free from the reflection. On that note,if you decide to do similar drawing, you should request for a non-reflective card if they're available. And if not, please feel free to follow the trend of tilting the paper to angles where you don't see reflection. Secondly, I couldn't erase, because the charcoal would blend with the paper rather than disappering. So it's a great idea to be patient while drawing using these mediums. To conclude, this is an amazing type of drawing and I'll love to do more and see how I improve feom there. I also learnt they're great for wildlife drawing so imma be going all out on these babies..lol Thank you for taking your time to read and view my drawing. Please feel free to make comments and suggestions on the topic. Stay safe and enjoy the rest of your day.
