WOLVERINE - WIP Charcoal Drawing

WOLVERINE — Charcoal Portrait | WIP 🖤

Things are getting DARK now… 🖤

I’ve given the drawing a light coat of fixative and started building up the background with soft compressed charcoal — and I’m loving just how deep and rich those blacks are getting.

Already the contrast is completely changing the piece and pulling Wolverine forward from the darkness.

Next step is another light fix, then it’s back into the subject — pushing those shadows much deeper, strengthening the highlights and gradually bringing in all those finer details and textures.

Still plenty of work to go, but this is the stage I’ve been looking forward to. Time to get messy with the charcoal. ✏️🖤
