Charcoal Pencils
Charcoal Pencils are perfect for artists who love bold contrast, dramatic shading, and expressive lines. Unlike regular graphite, charcoal offers deep, velvety blacks and a beautiful matte finish that brings sketches and portraits to life. Our Charcoal Pencils give you all the richness of traditional charcoal sticks, but with the control and cleanliness of a pencil—no messy fingers and much better precision.
In this category you’ll find soft, medium, and hard charcoal grades, ideal for everything from loose gesture drawings to detailed shading and fine textures like hair, fabric, and foliage. Each pencil features a high-quality charcoal core that blends easily with your fingers or blending stumps, and erases more cleanly than compressed sticks when used with a kneaded eraser.
The wooden casing makes sharpening simple and protects the core from breaking, so you can sketch confidently at home, in the studio, or on the go. Charcoal Pencils are a great choice for art students, illustrators, and hobby artists exploring tonal drawing, life drawing, or mixed media work.
Browse our Charcoal Pencils range to build your perfect sketching set and combine them with our sketchbooks, fixative sprays, and erasers for a complete, professional drawing toolkit.
