Thank you Kat, and you're right! They do look like bats! You get bat colonies on remote islands, maybe that's what they should be?

Definitely recommend the liquid charcoal, I think what I love about it is it's simplicity as a material and how little you need to build up tones. Also, it's very forgiving and easy to move around the paper, reignite with water and remove with an eraser.

Wow, I love this Em. I really love the sketch, it’s so poetic. When I initially saw it, I thought of bats. The liquid charcoal has such a lovely effect, the softness of it is so appealing, I will have to try it.
