Charcoal pencil set Artequipment 2301690 — 12 pcs, multicolour

Artequipment charcoal pencil set 2301690 contains 12 charcoal pencils in a multicolour finish designed for sketching, shading and mixed-media drawing. The compact retail pack provides a convenient selection of tonal charcoal pencils suited to illustration, study work and portable tonal exploration. Pencils combine the traditional texture of charcoal with the ability to be sharpened for fine detail, while remaining easy to smudge and blend for softer transitions.

Advantages

The set offers a range of tinted charcoal tones in a single compact pack, enabling greater control than loose charcoal while retaining the expressive marks and blending properties of charcoal media. These pencils can be sharpened for precise lines and also allow smudging for tonal modulation. Inclusion of lighter tones supports highlighting and subtle contrast adjustments without introducing separate media.

Suitable for

• Sketching and quick studies
• Tonal drawing and shading practice
• Mixed-media illustrations combining charcoal with graphite or pastel
• Life drawing and figure studies

How to use

Select pencils according to the tonal range required and sharpen for fine lines or details. Apply strokes lightly for preliminary sketches and increase pressure for darker marks. Use a blending tool such as a stump, tortillon or soft cloth to smooth transitions and create gradients. The pencils can be layered to build depth; fixatives may be applied after completion to reduce smudging during handling or display.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use on paper with some tooth designed for charcoal or mixed media. Combine these tinted charcoal pencils with other charcoal products or soft dry media for more dramatic effects, and store the set in a dry place to preserve the pencil cores and finish.
