Using your fingers, press the shavings below your fingertips and move them along the paper to draw. If you need parts to be darker, shave a darker pencil on to your drawing paper. You can manipulate where the dark goes by shaving it over specific areas of the drawing.

Once your drawing is complete blow off the remaining shavings and your drawing is complete and can be hung. These shavings can be saved for another time.
