General Pencil 557BP Charcoal Pencil Kit, Multi-Colour, 5-Piece

Excellent pencils, but never try using a sharpener for them - always use a Stanley or they will break. I use these for all of my charcoal works, and they even work as a base layer to glaze with soft pastels after. They do deposit a lot of charcoal, but also a lot of sediment when blending due to just how much they put on the paper. 2B is perfect for sketches and basic midtones, 4B is excellent to deepen your tones and 6B layers almost like a flat black - the white and kneaded eraser can combine all of these to create incredibly smooth gradients with ease, and the white can bring out highlights and make them pop. I can’t recommend these pencils enough, I use them all the time for my work.

Very good easy to sharpen don’t break.

This make was recommended by my art tutor. Great value and excellent quality. Best to sharpen with a craft knife or blade.

General's are a very reliable brand - I use their compressed charcoal pencils to darken areas of charcoal drawings. Easy to sharpen and they have a good range of hardnesses. However, consistently in values is lacking, i.e. sometimes a 2b med might be harder than another 2b med from the same range. I wish all vendors would package pencils in additional bubble wrap.

The best charcoal pencils on the market in my opinion. They generally don’t snap when sharpened like most other pencils out there. Highly recommended

Really good quality

Perfect

Harika bir kalem

Soft and easy to blend. Intense colour. My favourite charcoal pencils

Love these pencils. I don't use anything else

Jag ogillar när Amazon inte klart kan påpeka att en produkt levereras från tredje land och att tullpapper och annat strul stjäl min tid och telefontid. Vänligen ange på beställningar att en produkt är tullpliktig = strul, så struntar jag i den. Köper något annat istället.

Ayant essayé les charcoals de la marque Général's lors d'un court de dessin, j'ai tellement adoré la sensation sèche du fusains et grasse et lisse comme un pastel de ses crayons sur le papier (que je n'ai trouvé dans aucune autre marque même les plus grande et connue ) que j'ai pas pu résister à les acheter, je vous les conseille!
