Review on Professional Charcoal Pencils Drawing Set Painting, Drawing & Art Supplies for Drawing by Michelle Langley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Where they've been all my life

I'm an artist who always picks up more pencils than any other medium. Using charcoal only bores me with black and white. These colors are just fantastic! They blend like paint, so soft. The whites aren't as white as the general's whites, but heck, they're worth it. You can layer which is great fun! I found that a regular pencil sharpener wouldn't work for them. I use a long sharpener (non-electric) and it works great for this purpose. Keep in mind how hard you are sharpening. I don't usually need a sharp end, so I hold on just long enough to give them a nice shape. I've attached some drawings I made with them. These are different cats. I'm not a pro, but I'm getting better with them every day. I wish there were more colors. Haven't used purple or red yet... This will be next on the list. You must add blue and light yellow! There is green, so where is blue and yellow. The yellow it contains is more like a cream. It works great for animals. There are shades of brown that look more like oranges of different shades, but overlay them with black, white, gray, etc. and they are more flattering. In my drawings I used black, grey, white, cream, brown and orange. Considering its price, you really can't go wrong. I have already ordered another set!
