Tinted charcoal

Bought some tinted charcoal. Interesting texture, as the name suggests more like charcoal than pastel or even conte (harder). They do blend more like pastels though and they lift more easily (for corrections or highlights). Need more practice but they're interesting.

 

Then a couple of blocked shapes. Practicing terminators and foreshortening (had problems with a foreshortened face in a painting so I need practice).
