Still Life (Charcoal)

I think I'd prefer any medium for still life drawing that isn't charcoal. Charcoal, in my opinion, is best suited for quick sketches or even longer sketches, but not finishes still life drawings.

I'm also far better at drawing geometric shapes. The milk carton, for example, is far more refined than any other object in this still life.

I was also set back by an accidental overuse of fixative. It turned my darks into liquid somehow. However, I did a little touching up after the fact. I still could have added a background and refined the table a lot more.
