An arty people around? How do I sign a charcoal drawing please?

[WhereToCut]

Just that really. Learnt how to draw the last few months (thanks to YouTube) and dabbling with charcoal. Done a picture I'd like to sign but the background is entirety charcoal/black. So how do I sign it. Have tried googling but nothing comes up.

Thank you

With a charcoal pencil.

Will it show up? Sorry if I am being stupid...I seriously never picked up any charcoal til August. Background is very black. How would the charcoal pencil show?

If its shaded black you can use a sharp charcoal pencil that will show the signaturw

Have attached. So where I would normally sign is totally black.

White chalk?

Ah bugger. So I shouldn't have shaded it so dark then? Pants. Oh well, learning curve I suppose. Unless any other options?

Lovely drawing!

Would a white gel pen work?

I could test a bit with a sharp pencil on another piece of paper. Just don't want to ruin the pic (I know the raindrops are a bit dodgy but am quite proud of it).

Lovely drawing!

Head-Desk. That might work. I ordered some earlier today too! I should have thought of that. Thank you!

One of those white pens they use to write on specials blackboards in restaurants and pubs, they're like liquid chalk I think??

The section in the far bottom right looks light enough for a charcoal pencil to show up. Lovely pic!

Fix it with hairspray and sign it with a white pen, sign in the white area or sign it on the back.

White pastel should show up.

Sign it in pencil. Tuck it in a curve of a petal as small as you can.

On the back. Not all artworks need to have visible signatures- I prefer to barely notice them as they can detract from the image.
Lovely drawing.

On the back. I generally sign with name/date of completion/sometimes place of completion.
