Marie's Artist Charcoal Pencil 12 Piece Set, Soft Black Paper Handle Charcoal Pencils for Drawing and Sketching

These pencils are a perfect blend of that pigmented charcoaly / sootiness and that slight waxy feeling that you get from a colored pencil. It almost feels like a digital nib from a stylus. They are highly pigmented and it feels so good gliding across the page, more affordable than a lot of inferior brands, And these don't crumble to pieces when you sharpen them. The soft pencils are a perfect jet black, and the medium pencils are a gray that no matter how hard you press down it doesn't get too pigmented. Fantastic product. I don't know why they aren't more popular. Will recommend to my drawing students.

Price is great, easy to sharpen, not many "rocks" in them. Really good value for the money.

i love these pencils, they’re soft charcoal so it’s easy to get good bold, dark marks and i particularly like them for figure drawing on newsprint. that being said, they’re also prone to squeaking on the more textured paper that i’ve occasionally used them on which i find particularly unpleasant due to sensory issues. i also have issues sharpening them, a mixture between them being paper bodied and soft cored makes sharpening them particularly difficult, i already use a hand held sharpen on them and i struggle to not break the tip on at least every first and second attempt. perhaps i am to eager when sharpening them and you could have a gentler hand that i do but i find this frustrating at times

Compatible to other more expensive quality!

They're easy to sharpen but some of them have hard scratchy bits in the "lead" that can damage the paper. They're not my favorite.

Ok

So soft and tender! Cannot work with easily

Buena calidad

I liked the charcoal pencil in terms of its quality and type.
