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
Actually looks kinda sick
Let's also not forget Lateral, which he said he'll still be doing and is quickly becoming my favorite podcast!
Is this St Javelin?
