I could not sleep so here I am....to answer your question about "waht is charcoal made from?"

Charcoal drawing: the use of charred sticks of wood to make finished drawings and preliminary studies. The main
characteristic of charcoal as a medium is that, unless it is fixed by the application of some form of gum or resin, it
is impermanent, easily erased or smudged. This characteristic determined its early use as a means of tracing the
outline of a mural - either directly onto the wall or on a cartoon (full-sized drawing for transferring a design to a
mural) - and its use as a means of roughing in the outline of a large painting on canvas to be completed in a more
permanent medium such as oil. Artists also often produce small charcoal drawings as a means of working out preliminary
ideas quickly.

Because of the softness of its drawing edge, charcoal tends to favour broad, vigorous draftsmanship, with an emphasis
on mass and movement rather than on linear precision. A large number of such drawings have survived, including
important work of Albrecht D�rer, Paulus Potter, and Italian artists of the 16th and 17th centuries. Later, far fewer
independent charcoal drawings were executed, though there were some by such 19th- and 20th-century French artists as
�douard Manet, Edgar Degas, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, as well as the Germans Ernst Barlach and K�the Kollwitz.
