What's My Medium?

I'd say I love charcoal, although pencil is always great especially for sketching. I think I love charcoal because it's so dark, however it's extremely difficult to erase, which is very bad for me . . . overall though I prefer charcoal because I love the variation and how drastic it can make an image, whereas with pencil the color isn't as intense so it's harder to see and less powerful to me. I like the strength of charcoal and to me it jumps out at me more visually. Conte is definitely too difficult for me. If they only made a Conte sharpener I think I'd be fine . . .
