Introduction
When it comes to black and white drawing, no other medium is as rich and satisfying as charcoal. The velvety darks and the ability to create loose, gestural marks are what make charcoal so unique. This e-book “Learn How To Draw Using Charcoal For Beginners” will help you on how to start your enthusiasm in art. It seems that charcoal is one of the medium that it is hard to use, but this e-book makes it easier especially to those who are beginners. Even if you are not good enough in drawing I hope this will help you on how to draw in a basic principle. It doesn’t matter what age are you, what matters most is you have desire to draw.
New artists are often encouraged to begin drawing with charcoal as soon as start life drawing. This is because charcoal is ideal for making a variety of different lines very quickly. You can smudge charcoal with your fingers or some paper to shade it, remove small sections quickly for highlights, or use an edge to create a hard line. Because new artists often have to practice drawing the same lines over and over again, using a versatile tool like charcoal allows the artist to produce a variety of effects to get the desired style quickly and without needing to take the time to select and reselect materials. Just follow the simple step-by-step instructions on how to draw and render using charcoal. I hope this will help you to improve and to develop your skills and talent in drawing. It also contains what materials you have to use and techniques in preparation so that it is easy for you to start. My advice is just practice more, research with the art you love and lastly, have fun and enjoy it!

Excellent Starting Point
Totally new to Charcoal Drawing, and this guide is very helpful in learning the basics. Early drawings may be crude, but practice makes perfect.
