Feeling fed up two days ago I attacked an A2 piece of paper with charcoal.
Realising how flat it looked I moved to black pastel to build up the tones. Lots of use of a rubber and eventually white pastel to build up the highlights.

I did a section twice, one of them blurred.
I then cloned parts of the sharp image onto the blurred. Firstly the blurred-
Now the blend-
