Step by step charcoal.
I started by dusting the surface with charcoal powder.
I used vine charcoal in the darks and erasing for the lights.
I wanted to work out the face first to use as a reference for the rest of the piece.
Another charcoal powder dusting for the dark portions.
I removed some of the charcoal powder with a paper towel.
Finished. "Study of a Girl" charcoal on paper 16x20
