About This Product 💥
Key feature
Reach the deepest darks in your drawing. This set of 6 compressed charcoal sticks comes in soft, medium and hard grades, each a square stick you can use on the edge for lines or on the flat side for wide shading. Compressed charcoal is charcoal powder pressed with a binder, so it is denser and blacker than willow charcoal and does not break or lift as easily.

Compatibility
Works with: drawing paper, newsprint and toned paper with tooth; erasers and sharpeners for lifting and cleaning.
Pairs well with: willow charcoal for early light layers, and white charcoal pencils for highlights.
Not suitable for: smooth glossy surfaces; fine detail smaller than the stick edge, where a charcoal pencil works better.
How to Use
- Block in shapes lightly with the hard stick.
- Build tone with the medium stick on its side.
- Push the darkest areas with the soft stick.
- Blend with a stump or tissue and fix the finished work.
Before You Buy
- Compressed charcoal is harder to erase fully than willow charcoal, so start light.
- Charcoal dust is messy; keep a cloth nearby and protect finished work.
