what is this white sketch stick? is it the white double tipped tampon looking thing? and if so what does it do specifically?

for blending, brightening, and shading. so the tampon thing is like a big crayon made of cotton fibers for going over darker lines to add shading and blending. the white stick i use to accent or brighten areas to show light reflection. like the shine in a persons eyes or shine from lipstick or tears also can add more depth between shadow and lifht

Is there a sharpner for the Blending Stump?

the kit does not come with a sharpener for the blending stump however you can just use sand paper

what is that grey square thingy

It's a "kneadable" (not "needable") eraser. After you use it, you knead in the dark mark from what you erased and next time you use it, that dark mark will not come off onto the surface.

Does this set include an F pencil? This is being used for the course I am taking.

The pencils are labeled as B, HB, 2B etc. There is no F in this set.
