With charcoal there isn't much work needed to be done except adding layers and smudging them in. The advantage of this was that I could smudge the vine charcoal back into the background if I messed up, and the disadvantage was that if I added to much stick charcoal it wouldn't blend that nicely. Pen took me the longest because I had to start sketching in pencil and then trace over in pen. The advantages of pen is that I could get the darkest shades, but I couldn't go back if I had messed up. Pencil is definitely the easiest out of all of the mediums because I could erase any time I messed up. The disadvantage of pencil is that it created harsh lines and it was hard to smooth out them out. Colored pencil was my favorite because it gave the artwork a life that none of the other mediums could achieve. Colored pencil can be layered to make it look darker, and you can use contrasting colors to help with shading. A disadvantage that colored pencils have is that you can't smooth out the lines and if you mess up you can't go back.
