Julie,
I thought I'd add a little something that may be helpful in the future. At school we do charcoal value drawings before we're allowed to paint our pictures. We use acetate to tranfer the drawings to the canvas. I always hang onto the acetate, and then if I mess up, I can lay the acetate back over the canvas to check my drawing. Of course, that's assuming the drawing is correct in the first place. I think taking the time to get the drawing correct saves a lot of hassle in the painting process. Plus you have the advantage of having your values figured out ahead of time.
