Taylor's Crafts 'N Treasures

I began working on some concept sketches for a personal brand for a client today. I thought of some ideas for the past few days (what I call marinating on it) and now to get the ideas out of my head and onto paper to see if the client likes any of them.

Here I am working on a commission drawing.  I am using colored charcoal.  Although this can be a messy medium, I enjoy the vibrant colors and using my fingers as the blending tool.
