Review on πŸ–οΈ General Pencil Primo Charcoal 3B - Box of 12 Soft Pencils by Hannah Curi

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent artistic quality charcoal pencils

In my opinion these are the best charcoal pencils on the market today. I have been using Derwent and Conte for many years but their quality has deteriorated to the point of being unusable. I didn't want to try them as they are regular pencils and I found this brand not suitable for artists. But these pencils really changed that. I bought 4 boxes of 3b and they were well packed and not a single spot was broken. 3b gives both dark and subtle shadows. They have to be sharpened with a razor blade and, unlike other charcoal pencils, do not break when sharpened. You can erase unwanted sketches during composition and later erase them entirely. Finished drawings remain unfixed. Perfect.

Pros
  • Drawing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
