I didn't read the subreddit. Thought it might be DIY with someone asking what the nuts in this photograph were called.

That's a drawing? Very accurate!

I thought this was from one of my metalworking subs. And frankly I’m more impressed with drawing this than making the real ones

The realism is insane. How did you get the white so white if the paper is textured like that??

I can draw, do virtual art,animate,and do ceramics/wood. but I never learnt charcoal because i never had the time. so whenever i see a charcoal used drawing, I am just amazed. Good job keep practicing.

Replying to HoldMyWater (#2,455,748)

Charcoal, impure form of graphitic carbon, obtained as a residue when carbonaceous material is partially burned, or heated with limited access of air. Does that really sound like everything? ...and, scientists do tell.
