a book that helped me immensely was this book.

Start out by drawing spheres, boxes, etc with different lighting; there are lots of beginning tutorials on the internet (and that book) for stuff like that. Then, begin to post your work on here and ask for feedback.

I personally have no experience with the books you have mentioned but Drawing for the Absolute Beginner is a good place to start.

Once you're comfortable with the basics, I definitely recommend getting Drawing Realistic Textures in Pencil by J.D. Hillberry. Great book for a beginner to start and grow with.

Here's a picture of something I'm still working on. I'm a self taught artist and I truly believe that there is no such thing as "natural talent." You get what you put into it. Dedicated time and hardwork pay off, so never be discouraged!

If you ever want any tips/advice, I'd be happy to help. :)

Thank you very much. I had a big assist from Drawing Realistic Textures in Pencil by J.D. Hillberry. Highly recommended.

There really aren't any requirements for the contest, except that it has been completed within the last two years, and the size requirements, because if you win, your piece is included in a traveling show for the next year. This is actually the only piece I've finished in the last two years (besides some commissioned portraits), so I didn't really have a choice on what to enter. I haven't entered anything in the last two years, and I hadn't started this one with that in mind, I was actually just experimenting with the grey paper because I've always used white paper in the past. And as for having a good handle on charcoal, I feel like a bit of a fraud, because I use the techniques I learned in this book and they're pretty fool proof. I pretty much hated charcoal before I read that book. I only used graphite, but I wanted to do a piece that required really tricking the eye, and graphite is too reflective for that to work, unless you're standing right in front of it. This was actually my first charcoal drawing since high school, ten years prior--now charcoal is one of my favorite mediums. If you like charcoal, you should read that book!

Edit: Oh, and thanks for your compliments and suggestions. :)
