Wow, this looks great! The rose on the left is very realistic. Although - are you going to fill in the whole background with black? Because just the black strip makes it bit unbalanced. Otherwise, great job...roses are SO hard to draw xD

DOING SOMETHING THIS GRACEFUL USING CHARCOAL IMPRESSES ME. CHARCOAL AND I HAVE A HISTORY THAT INVOLVES A LOT OF SOAP.
VRY 3D LOOKING AND DETAILED. GREAT WORK.

Yes, in a sense. The technique was more painting than drawing, as a charcoal wash involves getting a brush wet and running it over charcoal sticks to get pigment on the brush. You then apply it to the canvas and quickly use another wet brush to spread it out.
Thank you

Basically take a stick of charcoal, get the paintbrush very wet, and dab it on the charcoal. It's mostly about layering, and if you keep the paper wet, you can make it gradate really well.

I feel like this would have been better without those pitch-black places in the flowers. None the less, skillfully done indeed
