General's - Jumbo Charcoal
Lay down velvety blacks and sculpt dramatic values with versatile charcoal
Compressed charcoal delivers richer blacks than vine charcoal while maintaining workability across techniques. General's Jumbo sticks measure 2 7/8 inches long with flat rectangular profiles that adapt to your immediate needs, drag a flat edge for bold coverage, rotate to a sharp corner for linear work, or sand an end to a precise point for fine details. The extra-soft formulation erases and blends readily while laying down dense, velvety blacks that photograph and reproduce with clarity.
These sticks handle the full range of charcoal drawing: gestural figure studies benefit from quick, sweeping marks; architectural renderings gain depth from controlled tonal gradations; portrait work achieves subtle modeling through careful blending. The compressed format resists breakage better than vine charcoal while producing less dust during application. Three sticks per package provide enough material for multiple substantial drawings or extended work on larger compositions without the frustration of constantly replacing worn-down pieces.
