Charcoal Contest - May 4th 2021

Charcoal Contest


Charcoal art is a drawing technique using powder or stick charcoal. Charcoal sticks are traditionally made from peeled wet willow branches and heated without oxygen. In this contest you may submit either a 2D or 3D charcoal drawing. The 2D drawing refers to a hand-made drawing using actual charcoal on paper. The 3D drawing refers to a charcoal drawing made with any graphics software. You must list in the description if your drawing is 2D or 3D. Some examples of classic charcoal drawings are Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, John Sargent, Leonardo da Vinci, and Mary Borgman. Nudity is not permitted in this contest.
