I am new to charcoal and want to play around. I followed this video and I am trying to understand what tools and equipment he is using.

• At the beginning of the video, it seems he is spreading lines using a simple compressed charcoal stick.
• At 0:15, it looks like a stump, though he throws down some hard clear lines with it. Can anyone identify what is he using?
• At 0:18, the functionality looks like a kneaded eraser, though the material he is using looks not so readable and tough. Is that an eraser? a needed eraser?
• 0:31 I am guessing this is a simple compressed charcoal pencil (actually a bunch of them).
• 0:54 I think it's either a wet cloth or a wet sponge.
• And whenever we use a spray, is it simple water, or is there a special liquid?

I would appreciate any help and advice on how to learn the right practices with these tools.
