Start off by picking your supplies. I used charcoal and carbon pencil for this drawing but you can also use graphite whilst following the same procedure. I used carbon pencil for sketching/rough shading, B "Euro Blend" charcoal for detailed lines and shading, as well as white charcoal for highlights. You can substitute the carbon pencil and B charcoal if HB or 2B charcoal/graphite. If using graphite you will also need a good eraser for highlights.
