    thanku :)...here's the procedure...

    1. as u can see from the pic...it is obvious that the first thing is u have to draw an OUTLINE with HB pencil
    2.start the shading from lighter parts...for that u may use 2B to 6B pencils...(they give a darker shade in that order)
    3.finally use the charcoal -break it and use-(the broken end gives the extra darkness!) to shade the thickest areas...if u have experience in drawing u may use charcoal in step2 also!
    4.be careful while using the charcoal...the dust may spoil other parts of the paper...always clean ur fingers with a cloth while shading..
    4.to produce a soft effect use ur finger to smudge (rub ur finger across the shading lightly)...some times after smudging u may have to reshade with charcoal...as this may wipe away the shade completely...

    thats it!! u created a charcoal painting!!
