The two artworks displayed show two different approaches to working with charcoal media. The first work employs a dark-to-light method, in which I apply a dark layer onto a white background using charcoal through expressive markmaking. In the second work, I employed a light-to-dark method, using charcoal to block out the background. Then, I used a kneadable eraser to introduce light and tone. Through these, I emphasised the three-dimensionality of my works.
