Just finished this drawing. It is done with incense ash mixed with charcoal powder. This was a very long, slow process, but I very much enjoyed it. The incense ash give's the drawing a soft delicate look and is a material I will use again for future drawings.

This is a drawing that I'm currently working on. It titled The rice maker. It is done in charcoal powder using different blender's to create the different textures in the fabric.
