Charcoal for linocut

I was happy when I was on rives bfk using charcoal. I was missing my buddy so I used charcoal on my linocut for preliminary sketching... No more paper and transfer! I started with a medium base (rub vine charcoal into surface) and sketched with vine. Lifted for values keeping in my mind chiaroscuro effects! I love this now! I think I have broken my failed attempts in linocuts forever more!!! Pics later on!
