I have a beginner question
What is a good texture when you are working with charcoal?

like
if you make a small square
and try to fill that with an even texture by filling in all the white with a sharp piece of charcoal.

how far do you have to push that
what is the texture people want to see?

Also

could someone share high resolution reference pictures for charcoal rendering?
