Charcoal pastels? Would that be the same as compressed charcoal? I used some regular pastels (chalk, not oil) in the guitar picture for the flames and the base tone for the guitar (which didn't attach before, but can be found below) and I used regular compressed charcoal for the black backgrounds in the tattoo-style images and the self portrait, to get the even look of an inkwash without the need for an inkwash. However, if it's a different sort of product, then I'll have to give it a try, cause it sounds like something I would have a use for!
Here's the guitar image that didn't want to post before:
Sorry for the photo quality.
