You see here I've only got like about half an inch of charcoal beyond the, beyond the point. And again you've got to secure it close at the tip and close to this end too so the charcoal doesn't wobble on you too much. But again I've got you know, I can do the big stuff, I can make big circles which I could never do you know sitting at a desk with a pencil in my hand you know, it's just you know, not possible. It would be even more interesting if you stuck a piece of paper on the wall and did it so that you're out like this. You get a far better idea of what you're developing in terms of what's happening design wise and you get it away from you.
