Charcoal drawings offer rich, bold, and often dramatic tones with a matte finish, while graphite drawings provide smooth, precise lines and are easier to erase, allowing for detailed and realistic artwork.

Charcoal is a softer material than graphite and creates darker, richer tones. Graphite is smoother and creates lighter, more subtle tones.
