a piece of charcoal and lie it flat on the paper, now hold on to it

Now
you are going to use your finger to smudge, from left to right, up to

Here
you can see how it looks. This method allows us to make the shadows
of a drawing: now you have learned how to make varying shadows for your
drawing.
Here
you can see the end result. In the photo you can appreciate the texture
of the paper. You can compare this sheet with the one below which shows
different smudgings carried out using a smudge stick.
