I haven't drawn with charcoal in forever, but found this pencil and gave it a try in a Moleskine sketchbook.
I love the intensity of the black but not the sound the pencil makes--a draggy scraping instead of (in comparison) the silent and soothing flow of water media.
It's funny what little thing can make a difference to my creative process.

Oh, you've uncovered perhaps what bothers me about charcoal. I get the creepies sometimes with the sound of scraping and then sometimes the blending with my fingers makes me feel weird too... I guess I'm just strange. But then again, I love the deep, rich tone of the black and sometimes can deal with this process. :) LOL
