I've always wanted to try drawing with charcoal (drawing on concrete floors and walls excluded). My interest was renewed after watching the title sequence of The Pacific. Now what I've drawn is hardly in the same league as the aforementioned title sequence, but I think still decent for a first try. I also found it much easier to use than soft pastel, probably because it's even softer and monochrome.
I referenced a random picture I found on the internet, so I don't know who the girl is. I was just drawn to her hairstyle and dark hair which translated really well in charcoal. She also looks a bit cartoonish and child-like because I drew her eyes bigger than normal. Yes, I messed up her facial proportions ever so slightly, but we'll call that artistic license :)
