The boy reaches into a side pocket of his satchel and comes back with a stick of charcoal, stabilized with wood and twine to turn it into a more comfortable writing utensil, which he then turns on a particularly large bit of rock rubble.

Dustin includes the odd dots and lines found throughout the mural as charcoal exclusions, and completely blacks out the top rim that is still missing.
