I've been trying out charcoal dust applied with a brush because my hand has been hurting a lot since the first of the year, especially when gripping a pencil! My doctor says it is arthritis, took x-rays, and referred me to a hand specialist whom I will see later this month. It is easier to tone my paper with a brush. I rub out areas with a soft kneaded eraser then put in the darks with a charcoal pencil. The picture on the left shows how I set up my drafting table and still-life...on the right is the completed drawing.
