​ "According to Pliny, painting was brought to Egypt by Gyges of Lydia; for he says that Gyges once saw his own shadow cast by the light of a fire and instantly drew his own outline on the wall with a piece of charcoal."

                       - Giorgio Vasari​

If you're after detail, use a pencil.... If you're after expression, use charcoal.
