Here I am experimenting with a variety of drawing instruments, in all cases I found that the closer I held the drawing instrument towards the tip the greater control I had over the marks I was making, including the amount of pressure I could apply.
With charcoal I needed less pressure to make a mark on the paper, given this I felt that I able to produce more interesting/varied marks whilst holding the charcoal stick in away that reduced the amount of control I had over what was happening on the paper
