Sketch with pure carbon, then activate with water for dramatic washes
Compacted carbon in disc form transforms how you work with this fundamental drawing material. The solid, palm-sized format eliminates the mess and breakage of traditional carbon sticks while delivering the same rich, velvety blacks artists depend on. Apply it dry for bold, direct marks, or activate it with water to create fluid washes that range from delicate gray veils to dramatic pools of near-black. The compressed structure means you can work a wet brush directly across the disc's surface, loading pigment like watercolor from a pan, no intermediary palette required.
This versatility suits both controlled studio work and spontaneous field sketching. Dry applications build up quickly for gestural figure drawing or landscape studies, while water-soluble properties enable atmospheric effects and tonal transitions that would take multiple sticks to achieve conventionally. The disc measures 1 7/8 × 1 5/8 × 1/4 inches, substantial enough for extended sessions yet compact for travel kits. ArtGraf's manufacturing process binds the carbon particles into a durable form that resists crumbling, so the disc maintains its shape through repeated use whether you're rubbing it across textured paper or loading a brush from its surface.
