Charcoal Moonscape

In this video we will create a black and white moonscape using a variety of charcoal sticks and a kneadable eraser.

Step 1

Use a black compressed charcoal stick on its side to cover a sheet of A4 cartridge paper. Rub a pastel applicator, cotton ball or your fingers over the charcoal to create an even tone across the paper.

Step 2

Shape a kneadable eraser into a point and use it to mark out a large circle for your moon and then use your eraser to create craters, ridges and other lunar surface marks.

Step 3

Use black and white charcoal to add shadow and highlight details.

Step 4

Create a landscape under the moon using your eraser and charcoal sticks.

Step 5

When you are happy with your design spray your artwork with Fixative to prevent smudges.
