Soot Sprites
No Face
For this, I wanted to use charcoal because one of my favorite parts about him is how he fades in and out. Sometimes transparent, sometimes solid. I felt like charcoal would be the only thing that could capture both of those things. I felt like I had to work quick with this one but also be very careful. Charcoal smudges SO easy, and I wanted the solid parts to be as clean as possible to get the nice black/white contrast, and then fade it out with a blending stick.
