still messy

Our homework this week was to make an abstract drawing using charcoal. I had a bit of an idea of what I was going to do but that was really it. When I went to start it last night, it just didn't really come to me - one part did (my basic idea) but I didn't know what to do with the rest of it. I used to do abstracts in my younger days but I haven't practiced that type of drawing in a very long time.
So, I looked online at abstract art which gave me enough of an idea to do what I did. We were to use shades of charcoal in order to portray if objects are in front of other objects. I think this worked out quite well all around but what a mess!
