My contribution: 

A wood stick made of charcoal. Above you can see the tools I've used. A very small sketch book, charcoal, a stomper and an eraser - and I've also used my fingers to smoothen it out.

This is really not a great piece of artwork (should have put more effort into making it look 3dimensional), BUT, the Thursday challenge is a great way to get your creative juices flowing. And in painting as well as in other things in life; on thing leads to another. Creativity fosters more creativity :) Creativity doesn't just appear (well ok sometimes it does but not always), you have to dedicate time to it. 

Also, a lot of people I talk to create these mental obstacles for themselves. They avoid painting even though they love it because they feel the pressure that everything has to turn out great (and logically it wont). Instead of letting go of the pressure, they do/paint nothing. It is ok to paint ugly things! It is a learning process and there is a lot to explore outside our comfort zones <3
