Graphite Powder

After watching some videos of other artists using powdered charcoal or graphite, I had to try it out. At first I attempted to grind and gather my own powder from my pencils and sticks and then grind it. It was apparent rather quickly that I could spend a great deal of time on that.

So on the last free day before the Cronovirus lockdown, I made my way to the art supply warehouse... along with everybody else. Everybody had the same idea to stock up on art supplies while being confined to their homes. Many were parents with their children.

After what seemed like an eternity standing in the queue for the checkout, I made my way home.

What I've done with this drawing is just the beginning. I've done more research on how to get the best results out of it.

I'll report back on my further findings.

I'm going to have to look up powdered charcoal/graphite and how it differs to the regular kind XD At the moment all I see is a nice drawing XP

There's quite a few interesting things you can do with it.
Cheers @ryivhnn!

Wonderful work.... will you be sharing updates on Hive or here on Steemit ?

Cheers!
Both for now, until Steem has no worth anymore. I'm pro Hive, but I'll squeeze what I can out of Steem as I need to build my crypto holdings up again. I think crypto is going to play a big role in the future, given the way things are going.

Me too....
