## Description

Product description Premium Features Top-End Quality & Design From strong tin-box to snuggly fit interior, to smooth blended soft charcoal with impeccable finishing; everything about this product screams luxury, yet easy on the wallet. Multi-Drawing Surface and Ultra Dark Given the ultra soft nature of the charcoal, this set of pencils will work on practically any paper or drawing surface. It is also able to effortlessly create unparalleled dark and rich tone, maximizing contrast and beauty of your drawing. Efficiency and Longevity Each ThePortraitArt woodless pure charcoal pencil contains about 5x the charcoal to that of traditional wooden pencil. Ensure both longevity and reduce deforestation. Multi-Layer Friendly Due to the unique ratio of charcoal and binding agent of ThePortraitArt compressed charcoal, this charcoal pencil (especially the soft and supersoft) is able to draw on top of other dry media such as pastel, effectively allowing you to easily draw in layers and add finishing touches. More ThePortraitArt Charcoal Drawing Samples - ( All Drawing by Artist / Designer behind this Pencil set ) Other common FAQ / Notes / Tips Sharpener - Anything that works with a regular wooden pencil works with this set. Pencil sharpening knife, electric sharpener, sand paper etc... Break - Due to fact that the pencil is essentially a piece of compressed charcoal, if dropped on hard floor it might break. So handle with care. Though even if any accident happens, all parts can still be used. Either by a pencil extender, or just scratch off the shell of the pencil and use as a piece of high quality compressed charcoal. Nothing would be wasted. Tone Value - As mentioned and worth mentioning again: the greatest strength of charcoal is range of tone value it can deliver. While for very beginners it might feel harder to control vs graphite, it is essential as an artist to learn to use charcoal and take advantage of the contrast it can offer. Pairing with ThePortraitArt Sketch book - My brand of sketchbook is designed to compliment with this pencil set. Each sheet from my sketchbook has 2 textures (smooth and rougher). This pencil set works well with both. Feel free to experiment and find out what effect you like. Rough side offers a bit more texture while smooth side is slightly better at blending. No waste of stub - As the pencil gets too short to handle (even with pencil extender), simply scratch cover shell off with a sharp edge or sandpaper and use remainder as compressed charcoal. No waste vs traditional wooden pencil.

Review: Lots to love in this set of wood less charcoal pencils. - Just received today, so haven't worked with this product extensively. However, I'm very familiar with dry media materials and so far the results of my trials are consistent with any decent compressed charcoal. While lines are, indeed, difficult or even impossible to remove or even to mitigate, again they work predictably within the expectations of compressed charcoal and can be manipulated with a paper stump, tortillon, chamois or art sponge and most, if not all marks can be erased with a good vinyl, kneadable or gum eraser. My only regret is that this set doesn't include pencils of a hard consistency, which is indispensable for crisp, clean, smudge-resistant lines when they are needed.. The set comes VERY well packaged, all of mine arrived whole and intact. The individual pencils might possibly break if dropped - a hexagonal barrel would prevent rolling - but I just try to remember to handle them with this in mind, which isn't difficult since almost all art materials require a certain degree of respect, either to safeguard the integrity of the material or for the sake of safety. Easy to use, easy to sharpen, a little shorter than the last brand I have been using, but are thicker and more comfortable in the hand. The real advantages of these, and of compressed charcoal in general, include that these pencils aren't nearly as delicate as vine charcoal and they are capable of laying down truly black marks, very dense consistency and more even application. I often apply charcoal to my drawing tools rather than directly to paper, which is a LOT easier without a wood casing. But probably the most important factor for both the hobbyist and working artist is that this is a very good value, a lot of bang for the buck and capable of delivering professional quality results - the only limitations are in how hard you're willing to work to learn and improve your skills. May we all be very fortunate in this quest!
Review: The Best - This is the best charcoal pencil I've used in 40 years. It's soft and very black to the paper, yet it doesn't crack or crumble. It's easy to sharpen with a little manual sharpener and doesn't break while sharpening. It's just perfect.
