Since this seems to be working for me I went on to experiment more with charcoal and pastels.
And this time I didn’t go for a reference image so the whole thing was my idea from the scratch.

Well..here it is..
honestly I am not very happy with the result but somewhere I find the idea fascinating. a lot can be done with it.

I showed it to my bff (sam) and she said I can still save it. as its new paper so its not gliding the way I am used to. so it will take time to adjust.
