Good pencil drawings start with a good graphite pencil!

Derwent charcoal pencils are made from natural charcoal particles mixed with the finest clays and encased in a cedar wood barrel. An extensive tonal range can also be achieved, mainly if water is used. Wet a previously worked area for even darker tones, allow it to dry, then work on it again. For even lighter tones, use a putty rubber to 'take out' tone as required.

• Derwent Charcoal Pencils offer easier sharpening than traditional charcoal sticks, with less breakage.
• Available in light, medium, and dark shades, the pencils come pre-sharpened.
