Animals Charcoal Art Drawings

The shading and blending methods found in charcoal drawings create complex images of everyday objects and creatures. With a variety of artistic styles, these pictures can add to any room's decor. Whether animal drawings or landscapes, this type of artwork is available in both retro and modern styles.

Are all charcoal pictures in grayscale?

Many artists draw with black charcoal alone and utilize shading, hatching, rubbing, erasing, and texture techniques to create complex drawings. They use specific materials including charcoal pencils, crayons, and powder to draw life-like images of wildlife, household items, people, and abstract landscapes. Additionally, some artists use colored charcoal, either for the entire piece or to accent a particular part of the drawing.

What animals are found in vintage charcoal drawings?

Some intricate works date back to the 1800s and early 1900s. Tigers, birds, and dogs like spaniels and terriers are common subjects for these animal drawings. One common practice from this time was to choose an animal like a horse or deer and do a series of drawings, called a study, featuring them in different positions or environments.

What are some styles of charcoal drawings?

Even though similar charcoal pencil techniques are used in different drawings, there are stylistic details that differentiate particular artistic categories. These design elements unite different pencil drawings regardless of the subject matter.

  • Realism describes sketches that feature subjects and backgrounds which greatly resemble what these things look like in reality.
  • Art deco is a style that emphasizes bold lines and geometric shapes.
  • Impressionist works are not as focused on reality, but rely heavily on shading and blending techniques to present an experience or a feeling rather than complete accuracy.
  • Illustration sketches feature characters and objects that could be found in a cartoon or picture book. These resemble reality, but are often more polished than strict realism.
What are some accessories for charcoal drawings?

There are several elements that add to this style of artwork. By their very nature, pencil and charcoal are materials that can rub off, so a few layers of fixative are usually sprayed onto the paper before the process is over. After this, other additions include the following.

  • Framing has a significant impact on the overall style of the piece. Material options like wood or metal, color, and thickness of the frame can be selected to match other furniture in a room. Another choice is whether or not to choose a frame with glass covering the paper or canvas.
  • Matting is a piece of colored wood-pulp or cotton board that sits on top of and just around the border of pencil drawings, inside the frame.
  • Signatures from the creators on their sketches increase the sentiment, especially when they are well-known.
