Charcoal is dark grey residue consisting of carbon, and any remaining ash, obtained by removing water and other volatile constituents from animal and vegetation substances. Charcoal is usually produced by slow pyrolysis, the heating of wood or other substances in the absence of oxygen.

A charcoal drawing means exactly what it sounds like, a drawing made with a piece of charcoal instead of a pencil. Charcoal made just for drawing can be found in an art supply store or department.
