EDM 3 - Purses, Wallets or Bags

This is my third EDM challenge and I decided to draw my black handbag.  It's an everyday small one that I just chuck a few things in and head out the door with.  It's a little bit scruffy but has served me quite well for a few years.

I decided to try a new medium for this challenge since the bag is all black.  I chose a Derwent Dark Charcoal Pencil and it did an excellent job I think.  When I needed places on the drawing to be really black, it worked a charm with very little elbow grease needed. 

Despite being very messy and rubbing off very easily I do like the look of the charcoal pencil and may use it again for another suitable subject.  After all that, here is the drawing:

That's a great drawing. I do love charcoal. Even it's messiness.

This is really well done. You captured the slouchiness of the bag perfectly.
