First we'd cover the whole of the drawing paper
with charcoal, edge to edge, in a mid-to dark tone, by using the side of the
charcoal stick, and a tissue or old cotton rag to slightly rub the charcoal
into the surface of the paper.
Then we’d would remove areas of the
charcoal with a rubber to expose the figures outline and light throughout. The
module would pose whilst having a light focusing on her, to make the light
strong and easier for us to find aspects of the body to work with.
This would be my favourite session, as
I found this method both simple but effective towards the final result. It didn’t
subject me towards working clean and tidy, but instead experimental, seeing as
the paper had already been covered in charcoal to begin with. Something that
provided support was looking at the image with less focus, to avoid looking at detail but instead to inspect heavily on
the form of light.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to complete these pieces
, however I really am not irritated as I feel that the legs give a good insight into the progress used towards the task required from us. 
What I found very satisfying was seeing how I captured the form of light towards certain area of the figure shoulders were effective being careful not becoming distracted and exposing to much out. 
The style itself gives an eerie approach giving the image an authentic behaviour with the strong black background and very harsh use of removing aspects for the white surrounding the face and chest. With an untapped section of the upper back leg with solid black.
