Content
Factual Content: Out of the supplied media, charcoal can give you the
darkest dark, and chalk the whitest white. Starting with thumbnails will allow
the artist to choose a strong composition. Blocking out the shadows and
highlights and starting with the lightest highlight and move to the darkest
shadow will allow the artist to smoothly portray the value scale.
