General's - 960 Compressed Charcoal Rectangular Wide Sticks

960 Compressed Charcoal Rectangular Wide Sticks

Break off chunks for broad coverage or sharpen edges for fine detail work

Broad flat sides cover large areas quickly, while narrow edges create precise lines without constant resharpening. The smooth, dense formulation lays down consistent value without crumbling or creating loose particles that smudge unintentionally across your paper.

These rectangular sticks excel at gestural figure drawing and large-scale sketching where you need to move between bold massing and linear definition. Break pieces to comfortable working sizes, or sand an edge to a chisel point for controlled detail work. The assorted pack includes three hardness grades, soft for deep blacks, medium for mid-tones, and hard for lighter values and fine lines, giving you tonal range within a single medium. Compressed charcoal adheres firmly to paper, resisting accidental smearing while remaining workable enough to blend and lift when needed.
