the drawings felt pretty good on this night. i discovered a new trick too. vine charcoal over top of conte blends the conte nicely without darkening it too much. conte is waxy so it doesn't stick. the drawing on the brown paper was the toughest to do but the most rewarding... lots of the dreaded foreshortening lol!
