Although it was a rather busy week, I for one definitely learned quite a few "tricks of the trade." I honestly never would have thought that scraping charcoal onto the paper and smearing it around with a shammy or paper cloth would be the way to start out a drawing; and to not start out after that with charcoal, but with a eraser to define hard and soft edges, your lightest lights, and light sources. Then after that, you can start to put in your darkest darks, and then your shadows, and mid tones. It's a very neat effect that you get when you're done. Overall I learned a lot from these two days.
