This is the result of my first attempt at making my own charcoal to draw with and I couldn't be happier. Leucistic Curtains by L. Lamm (me) Charcoal, 2024 (lemmy.world)

I'm looking forward to practicing with this medium more, I used to love it but I haven't done anything with it in years.

I wouldn't mind seeing more Leemy users posting their art to be discussed, but otherwise, nice looking little room.

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
