I'm not certain of how to go into a grand detail, but from what I know...charcoal is usually focused on drawing the item in question through shading. So practice on drawing pictures through shading rather than plain lines.

Charcoal: you touch it once and it's all over everything. I recommend having a workspace away from anything you don't want to get dirty.
The videos here are really helpful. In general though charcoal is an easily smudged around surface so you probably won't draw much in the way of cartoons and such with it. It's very nice for figure drawing and life studies though. c:'
You can probably find a tons of use for it to fit what you'd like when you get the hang of it. Just play around and see what it does! best way to learn is through experimentation.

~the chamois clothes are a good for smearing the charcoal around and if its dirty enough you can even use it for smudging
