garlic/chili still life

Above and the two below are Jerry's charcoal Garlic/chili still life. This was our next assignment in our drawing class. We have discovered that charcoal - which is a medium neither of us has ever used - is very very messy and quite a learning curve. I think after we have played with it more we will be more comfortable with it.
I just love the stem on his chili.
This is my still life. Both of us had different garlic cloves and chilis and they were set up differently. I really like jerry's chili better.
