    I’d only be interested in charcoal if it had immediate benefits. It’s sounds like it might.

    Right now I am interested in cleaning up line work and creating the impression of dimensionality.

    Would adding color be a good way to help legibility?

    I feel like I want to avoid charcoal like the plague, but again if it’s a worthwhile investment of time, I guess I could.

    Below are some additional examples of what I have been drawing.

      Sorry for my delay in knowing-about your reply…

      ( I sometimes don’t go online for years at a time, to comment )

      Yes, adding color increases legibility, outright…

      Texture ( for the colorblind ) helps, too, but is much less effective than color, for we who can see it.

      Please, though, please try doing some charcoals-in-toothy-paper stuff, & feel the RMind-shift much more easily…

      Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen!
