Basics #82 - How to use White Charcoal in a Charcoal Drawing on Toned Paper

Some members like to draw using black and white charcoals on toned paper. Is white charcoal the replacement of the eraser? Meaning instead of lift up the black charcoal on the toned paper to make it lighter, you may use the white charcoal to light up the area which is already has black charcoal. In my process, I do it differently. In my mind, the toned paper is the middle value of the drawing, I would only apply black charcoal for the area that is darker than the middle tone (the paper color). If you already put the black charcoal to the area that should be lighter than the middle tone, then you should remove the black charcoal mark first before thinking about whether you should make it even lighter (with white charcoal).
