Review on 🎨 General's Charcoal Drawing Set, Black and White - Set of 4 Pencils and 1 Eraser for Improved Detailing - 321742 by Linda Diaz

So impressed πŸ™Œ: media to draw

I really like these pencils. I've never worked with charcoal, I prefer graphite. I was really impressed with them. First I looked for a white pen and found 3 of the same brand in the pack, but then I came across this one. Instead, I decided to try charcoal pencils as they came with a white pencil. I found them very fun and easy to mix and match, including white. It blends just like charcoal pencils. I've found that the best way to sharpen them is to use sandpaper. I had a hard time with a regular sharpener that just kept eating the lead and wouldn't stay, so I just use 220 grit and paper. I also get a good grade this way and also feel like I don't waste as much pencil with this method of sharpening. looked at the pencils, the price and was very happy with it. I knew I was going to be spending more at the craft store anyway. Recommend trying them out as a first time charcoal user. I would even recommend trying it like a pro. Edit: The pencil sharpener was causing sharpening issues. I tried another sharpener and they sharpened perfectly. I also saw these at Michaels when I walked into the store so it was pretty nice to know they were even sold in store. now and really love her!

Pros
  • draw
Cons
