Hi, everyone!

I received a charcoal set as a gift, and I would love to try drawing using this medium! The box has kind of been sitting unopened on my desk for a few months...

The thing is, I have never worked with charcoal before. I am mostly a pencil drawer. ^_^;

I was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to get started, what additional materials you think I will need, and tips and tricks on using charcoal?

Thank you!
