This is another German Shepherd commissioned for charity, your more typical black and tan variety created using more charcoal, Indian ink and white pigment.
I'm so pleased I have been asked to produce work specifically in charcoal as I'd likely never have picked up my willow sticks and give it a real try.
The particular willow charcoal sticks I use are the Coates brand, the charcoal pencils I used to add some scratchier details are the Derwent brand on A3 Seawhite cartridge paper.
