Yup, I used vine charcoal and white chalk. I love working on toned paper. It's perfect for organizing values. You just mass in the shadows with the charcoal, mass in the lights with the chalk, leave the the paper as the middle tone, work the edges of those masses, and you are done. Ha, it's that easy. You don't want to mix the charcoal and chalk, because it just adds a weird color to it, and you pick up some mad eraser game from not mixing the two.
