Review on 🖌️ Galart Supplies Charcoal Drawing Set – 12 Pieces Pre-Sharpened Charcoal Pencils with Organizer Tray - Ideal for Artists and Beginners, Perfect for Shading, Sketching, and Charcoal Drawings by Barbara Simmons

A longtime journalist and dabbler in graphics I have had many pencil sets over the years and prefer the Prismacolor sets which also come in a wide range are combinations of Revain. But charcoal is different, and in my office drawers there were both clean charcoal sticks and such wooden sticks with a charcoal core. I give this set 5 stars as a "complete" set (multiple hardness options). ) for the charcoal drawing. This is a box that can be conveniently slipped into a shoulder bag or briefcase. I use this pencil to jot down ideas in planning meetings or just to sketch in my daily journals. A few more tips: It's a bargain price for this set, so I wasn't expecting much from the physical box itself. This is really a regular cardboard box with a plastic pencil insert. There are fancier sets you can buy e.g. B. those in metal boxes or hard plastic cases. This basic: pencils in a simple box. But it's what I expected and that's ok and for the price I didn't expect more. The manufacturers of these pencils recommend the best care for these pencils, which is to "sharpen" them with a knife. People who have been working with pencils for years know this tip and may already have a handy little knife in their pencil stash. But to be clear, there is no knife in this set, although the knife is shown in the photos of the seller's product. To be honest, for convenience, I have various small handmade sharpeners around the office that I've found work well. I even tested one of these pencils in my big power sharpener and it worked great too.
