Faber-Castell - Pitt Natural Oil Free Charcoal Pencils
Sketch with velvety charcoal that erases cleanly and layers without limit
Soft application, responsive smudging, clean erasure. You can build up dense blacks through layering, lift highlights with a kneaded eraser, then rework passages without the resistance oil-based binders create.
Three hardness grades handle different needs. Soft delivers rich darks and covers quickly. Medium balances control with tonal depth. Hard maintains sharp points for details and linear work. The wood casing protects the compressed charcoal core while allowing traditional sharpening with a blade, you control the point shape rather than accepting what a sharpener dictates.
Charcoal's natural texture comes through in the mark itself: slight grain, matte finish, authentic drawing quality. Purchase individual pencils to stock up on the grades you use most, or start with the assorted set to test all three. Figure studies, gestural sketches, tonal landscapes, wherever you need charcoal's immediacy without sticks crumbling in your hands.
