Koh-I-Noor - Charcoal Pencil Set

Charcoal Pencil Set

Create tonal depth with three charcoal grades plus white chalk highlights

Soft for deep blacks and atmospheric effects, medium for general sketching and midtones, hard for crisp details and preliminary layouts. The included Gioconda white chalk pencil lifts highlights on toned paper or creates contrast against dark passages.

Two erasers address different correction needs. The kneaded eraser lifts charcoal gently for subtle value adjustments and highlight recovery, while the hexagon plastic eraser removes marks completely when you need a clean restart. Both work across coarse and smooth surfaces without damaging paper tooth. The double-barrel metal sharpener maintains points on standard and oversized pencils, charcoal needs frequent sharpening during detail work, and cheap plastic sharpeners crumble under that demand.

Everything essential for charcoal drawing arrives in one compact set. Build dimensional form through strategic layering, or work gesturally with broad strokes; these pencils adapt to your approach while staying clean enough for controlled studio work.
