Yes, and of course - here's what I was missing: in the car. I don't drive, so I was imagining drawing with charcoal on the hoof.
Just don't wear your best and lightest clothes if you do this, that's all - there are people who take pastels out into the countryside, again with a car, probably. This would drive me mad, but - it's done.
And there are grades of charcoal, too - and different types (obviously depending on the wood that was burnt). I think I may sometimes assume that people are as cautious and as disinclined to get into a muck as I am, which ain't necessarily so. Alan B is a more free spirit. You can't say you don't get variety here!

Robert, I am something of an animal when it comes to painting and drawing, I do tend to immerse myself into my work and usually end up covered in the stuff, particularly oil paint, I blame it all on my desire to paint or draw at speed, it's a by-product which can't be avoided.
However, it all washes off and I don't suppose I am going to change now, nor would I want to.

I sketch with charcoal outside :-D Am I the odd one out? I must say however that it comes from school, we used it when sketching nature a lot. As to pencils I use the thick versatils (koh-i-noor), come in 2B-8B and ocres. I like to sketch with red ocre, no idea why. Anywho, no issue with sharpening ever - sharpener attached to versatils ;-)- the most comfy and efficient pencils ever. No breakage even with soft 8Bs ;-).
Otherwise, you can always use fake charcoal. You get the colour without the dust. They are a bit oily though and I do miss that annoying dry scratch charcoal makes with those ;-).
