I find the usage of charcoal sticks fascinating since I have never used one before. It was not an easy task to express texture through charcoal. There were many instances where I could not get the shadings right and my metal mug looked like a melting mug since the shape was not that firm. I tried to touch up the best I could and Prof Woon Lam guided me on the things to take note of such as darkening the surrounding areas to make the desired area look whiter, how to capture the lines of reflection more accurately and how to minimise inaccurate shadings.
