I have this large piece of charcoal, the size of my fist, that I tried drawing with- the paper fought me a bit, with not quite enough 'tooth' (texture) to grab onto the harder charcoal,, but it was fun to challenge myself with a little bit of discomfort while drawing in the hopes of loosening up a bit. I'll try some more experimentation this coming Thursday. I find these weekly sessions so helpful- working to keep the drawing muscles stretched.
