I see why your getting those kind of stroke and why it hard for you to create curve.Mechanical pen have often a lead that is thinner than a pencil lead so it easier to break the lead when you try to change the angle of the pen there best for fine line of same thickness but there not the best to create value.For charcoal it recommend to use a shield to avoid oil from the hand to create deposit of charcoal or for the hand to accidentally destroy the value you just created.A sheet of loose paper under you're drawing hand should prevent such accident.
I definitively recommend experimenting with charcoal since there really soft material you can use a tissue to blend them
An other approch would be normal pencil with a large exposed lead and for smaller detail you can go with the mechanical pencil.
If you can get one try to find one of those soft mailable eraser there the best to erase and hold charcoal.
