Review on Faber Castell Monochrome Artists Pencil by Karla Richter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great alternative to graphite or dry charcoal

It would be a shame if Faber-Castell charcoal pencils were to disappear as they are becoming harder and harder to find. They have all the properties of "dry" charcoal, without the dust and brittleness. Like graphite, they flow smoothly but offer rich blacks and grays without the reflective silvery gray of graphite. They can even be mixed with colored pencils. So if you like a pencil that flows smoothly, blends and erases well, and delivers deep tones that graphite doesn't have, give them a try.

Pros
  • Painting, drawing and craft supplies
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Very pleased......I've been using this pencil in place of charcoal for drawing and I prefer it.
