Charcoal Study

The beginnings of Carole Lombard in charcoal.

I have HATED charcoal in the past however, I've been frustrated lately with the flatness in some of my drawings. I decided to attempt a charcoal drawing.

So far I'm relatively happy with the results. I'm still getting used to charcoal & have a long way to go with this particular drawing. I'm posting this in case I completely destroy it later

ANY TIPS OR TRICKS REGARDING CHARCOAL WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED
