I'm watching a guy sketch in charcoal pencil and am like... damn. I doubt I'd be able to successfully sharpen one of those let alone wield it. Eh. It's nice to watch other people be skilled at things

Yeah that's how he did it. I had doubts but found an old hobby knife and dug up some old gifted charcoals. Did kind of a crappy job of it because first time but didn't lose a finger.

Going to find my worst sketchbook and sketch a dirty bedside mug. Badly.
