HOW TO DO A CHARCOAL PORTRAIT ON SKETCHBOOK
I have an unbound love for charcoal portraits. No other medium can produce such a beautiful interplay between light and dark and light and shadow. Charcoal portraits look true to life as they can create very apt contrasts and highlights. But, in order to get the desired result, one must use the right paper GSM. I have used 115 GSM sketchbook from Menorah for my drawing. This is the best sketchbook for colored pencils and is excellent for dry media art work like pencil sketching, Sakura micron pen, wax crayons, pencil colors, charcoal and graphite. I have used mild water colors on this sketchbook as well before and I was very impressed with the paper quality.
