Excerpt from Drawing in Charcoal and Crayon: For the Use of Students and Schools
There are two methods of working in charcoal - one, in which the charcoal point is used alone, the shading being put in with lines which are not blended, no stump, or rubbing together of any kind being allowed.
This style Of drawing is principally used in illustrating, as it is more easily reproduced than those in which the stump is used. Full details of working in this manner will be given later.
The other method is that in which the charcoal is blended with a stump, no lines being visible in the modeling.
This manner of drawing is that most generally employed in art schools, and is susceptible of higher finish than the other.
