Awww, don't give up on charcoal. It can be really fun to use. It is a good drawing though.

I like the drawing. Not bad for a first charcoal drawing. Good work! ^^

yeah i'll agree partiallly with EAR, you can use charcoal to out line something, but ic that you u used pencil first, if you do that, don't make the pencil realy dark, draw with it lightly and use it. now if your shading it, that would be great too. over all, your experiment, looks nice^_^
