Mi-teintes paper, compressed charcoal, vine charcoal and charcoal white if you're using a dark toned paper. Use a number 4 and a nuber 10 brush to soften the edges. Stomps must be used carefully or you're gonna mess the drawing up. I also like to dip my brushes into the charcoal powder and spread it on the paper, you should try it on a small piece of paper before you do it on the portrait, you will obtain soft and lost edges and other textures.

Best of luck.
