Charcoal drawing: reductive

Drawing class
Objective: With a sheet of drawing paper, cover the entire sheet with compressed charcoal. Then remove and blend the charcoal to recreate the still life.
Comments: This is one of the most frustrating assignments I've done. The teacher offered several points, ideas, and comments to help me along but it just never clicked in my head. So along with the projects I've completed and succeeded in, there will always be failure and need for improvement. This is a perfect example of the latter.
Grade: D (for deserved)
For those playing the guessing game at home, you see a ghostly image of a boxing glove with a light bulb in the palm, a pig, and a mask.
