Q&A (2)
Q What is charcoal used for?
A

Charcoal is a brittle drawing media that is dense in colour and easy to smudge. This smudging technique is used to create gradients and shadows and makes for a fast and hands on approach to drawing. Charcoal is particularly good for working on quick large scale drawings.

Q Is charcoal water soluble?
A

25th December 2020 Reviewed by Orinta Pranaityte As soon as I received the charcoal pencils, I drew a black and white portrait, blending and smudging together the three different shades. It's a great set for creating portraiture and a body drawing portfolio or for practicing your charcoal drawing skills. The quality is very good!

10th October 2014 Reviewed by Jay Kay In the past, I have bought charcoal sticks and just found them so messy. These charcoal pencils reduce mess and increase use and function because they do not crumble therefore are not wasteful. What was even more helpful was that they came in light, medium and dark as well as a white pencil and sharpener. This set just made charcoal drawing a lot more efficient.
