Charcoal is often used for life studies and is a traditional material in art. The charcoal drawing pencil is encased in wood, giving you greater control over your drawings, just like a pencil, while allowing you to enjoy all the charcoal effects you love. The chalk-like texture means these pens are smudgeable and erasable and can be layered. Combine them with Derwent's XL charcoal blocks or tinted charcoal pencils for more creative possibilities. This set contains 5 charcoal drawing pencils, 1 coloured charcoal drawing pencil and a sharpener. Colours: light, medium and dark charcoal and white tinted charcoal.
