General's - SketchMate

SketchMate

Everything needed to explore graphite and charcoal drawing techniques

This unique kit includes all of the artist's tools you need to get started: three General's graphite drawing pencils (2H, 2B, HB); two charcoal pencils in a soft and hard, one layout extra black pencil, sand paddle pointer, All Art sharpener, tortillion, and eraser. Use the sand paddle to sharpen charcoal pencils to a smooth point. Use the soft white vinyl eraser both as an eraser and also to lift off graphite or charcoal from page and create highlights in drawing. Cut small shapes off of the eraser for detail work. Blend charcoal or graphite with paper tortillion-stump for a softer look.
