Charcoal
Charcoal is a dynamic drawing material made from charred sticks of willow or vine. It’s capable of creating very fine lines as well as broad, bold strokes. Charcoal marks are easily blended and smudged, making it perfect for atmospheric and tonal work. Use charcoal to draw quick studies, or choose charcoal pencils for drawing finer details with greater control.
Popular brands such as Nitram Charcoal, Coates Willow Charcoal, Conté, General Pencil Company, and Faber-Castell offer charcoal in various forms. This includes classic willow charcoal sticks, charcoal pencils, compressed charcoal, charcoal powder, and liquid charcoal. Perfect for expressive sketching and artistic studies.
