Learn to sharpen and hold your pencil properly, use appropriate paper. Then it's just a matter of learning how to actually draw.

There's a specific type of charcoal paper you can buy. Also invest in a boxcutter(unless you're using vine charcoal) and a sandpaper block from the hardware store. It's great for sharpening it and you can possibly reuse the powder

You have to draw bigger than you would with a regular graphite pencil because the lead is fuckhuge
