This is one of the first giant charcoal drawings I had to create in my Drawing 1 class. This is a dragon egg candle (doesn't EVERYONE have a dragon egg candle) that I had all still-lifed together with other things from around the kitchen. My personal quest was always to find some of the strangest compositions of objects to draw. Strange indeed. Please disregard lack of drawing skills since this was one of my first. (Not that I really got any better...HA!!!)

I think my entire body was covered from head to toe with charcoal after I was done with this. Messy? Just a tad.
