Experiment with smudging, smearing, line value and echoing lines to imply movement to the figure or part of the figure in your drawing. Full range of value and awareness to the weight of line and a variety of edges (lost, soft, hard, broken) It may be helpful to use both a charcoal pencil and compressed or vine charcoal. This is your creative work---What do you want the figure in your drawing to express? What is he/she moving from, toward? Here are some examples by artist James Drake and Christopher Williams.

The image on the upper right. What is he doing or moving towards or away? Anyone? I love that mark making.
He looks like he is in pain or is going to hurt himself, maybe pray. (In the upper right)
He looks like he had just drawn and dropped his drawing implement.
