Question about charcoal drawing

[Deleted User] · 2010-09-25 00:22:05

I need some kind of spray/fixative, don't I, to keep the picture from fading over time? Anyone got a link to a site where I can buy some?

You can buy cans of fixative in any art/craft shop but hairspray will also do the trick for a fraction of the cost

Also, build up your sprays. Put your piece on the floor and spray from above making sure not to drip or spray too much to cause it to get too wet - just a light spray. Then let it dry and repeat until you are satisfied. you will save a degree of your fine tones that way

Hairspray but the cheaper the better, get those cheap cans from the pound shop, the brand name expensive stuff is no good.
