What is "charcoal"?
Charcoal is a black substance made from burning wood or other organic materials in a low-oxygen environment. It is used for drawing and sketching due to its rich, dark tones and ability to create a range of textures and shades. Charcoal is preferred by artists for its smooth blending and ease of use, allowing for both detailed and expressive artwork. It can be applied to various surfaces, such as paper or canvas, and is often used in combination with other materials to achieve different effects.
