Drawing in Charcoal and Crayon

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. There are two methods of working in charcoal - one, in which the charcoal point is used alone, the shading being put in with lines which are not blended, no stump, or rubbing together of any kind being allowed. This style Of drawing is principally used in illustrating, as it is more easily reproduced than those in which the stump is used. Full details of working in this manner will be given later. The other method is that in which the charcoal is blended with a stump, no lines being visible in the modeling. This manner of drawing is that most generally employed in art schools, and is susceptible of higher finish than the other.
