Drawesome challenge #51 - Fantasy BIPOC character

[amberdreams]

Drawesome is a friendly, multifandom art community, and sets a monthly challenge. I haven't actually managed to do a fill for an age, but am just scraping in at the end of this one. 😂

Here's a charcoal drawing of an African dryad.



For those who like to know - it's on a roughish 100% cotton rag paper which I wouldn't use again for this media, it didn't work that well. I used ordinary charcoal, a blending stump (and my hand!) and a kneaded eraser.
Inspiration - mainly Adam Riches scribbly art style

It's so wonderfully expressive, like the dryad is just about to step out of the tree.

Did you spray it with fixative or something similar after?

Thank you!

I haven't actually sprayed it yet, but I will do. It's way too messy to just leave it without any fixative. 😁
