Draw with heritage charcoal formula trusted since 1889
Six pencil grades provide the tonal range charcoal work demands, from 6B's deep blacks through HB's controlled mid-tones to white for highlights on toned paper. General's handcrafts these pencils in the USA using their original 1889 charcoal formula, a recipe refined across generations to deliver smooth, consistent laydown without the brittleness that plagues cheaper alternatives. Responsibly harvested incense cedar wraps each core, providing the straight grain necessary for clean sharpening without splintering.
The Carbo-Weld bonding process sets these apart from standard charcoal pencils. This exclusive method secures the core to the wood casing, eliminating the frustration of cores that rattle loose or break during sharpening. You get reliable performance whether sketching outdoors or working through extended studio sessions. Two 6B pencils acknowledge what working artists know: you burn through dark values faster than lighter grades when building dimensional form.
The included Little Red All-Art sharpener handles charcoal's soft texture without crushing or crumbling. This complete kit travels well, everything needed for tonal drawing fits in one compact set, from initial blocking-in through refined rendering and highlight placement.
