Thank you!
I noticed a lot of companies (Coates for example) make their charcoal out of willow and I always liked those companies because they’re really smooth and dark. A couple of weeks ago the willow tree in my back yard lost a branch so I broke it up into pencil-sized pieces and used TKOR’S paint can method for making charcoal. It was super easy and once everything cooled down I wrapped my favorite ones in painters tape and put the rest in a box! Here’s a pic of the ones I used to draw that. I think the different shapes they came out in gave me a cool variety of different tools but I should have straightened some of them out when I was drying the branch.
I was surprised to see people don’t do it more here. Lemmy has such a knowledgeable and supportive community and it’s such a good place to go for honest constructive feedback
Thank you! I think this piece took me like four hours. And definitely give it a go! I forgot how much fun it is to work with
Looks like they were found during an investigation after his house burned down.
Is this St Javelin?
