    I am a kid who sketch only stuff that do not mve. For example I draw stuff like pears, apple, sphers, cone, and many other stuff.

    Lovely sketch and great tips on portrait sketching. Two questions: does it help to turn or view the sketch upside down and sideways too? Second, in watercolor can the charcoal be brushed over with a wet brush just once in one direction to give it a gray tint? Say maybe, for a floral abstract painting and have you used it in any of your paintings?. Happy painting! 🎨
