Thank you for sharing. Do you use a fixative during the drawing or after. If during is it a workable fixative and what do you use.

[@careyalvezartschool]

Don't use any, tends to clump the charcoal and ruin the delicate blending. I work with a Mahl stick and frame the finished work under glass.
See this video for the Mahl Stick info: ruclips.net/video/EM1SHdrZomo/видео.html

What paper you use ✨

[@careyalvezartschool]

Stonehenge print making paper by Legion, excellent for charcoal, and comes in a variety of shades
Canson Mi-Teintes is also very good, with a lot of colors.
