Compressed charcoal with soot and clay give the charcoal pencils their deep black colour and can be produced in different degree of hardness. A range of natural drawing charcoal sticks and pencils as well as charcoal in stick and pencil form in a range of degree of hardness. A paper wiper (blender) and knead able eraser are also included.
