General Pencil Charcoal

Constructed out of carbon and organic blacks or whites, the Charcoal Pencil is a General classic for good reason. Easy to fade, shade, and, if you need to, correct, a charcoal pencil is unique both for its textural abilities and forgiving nature. The pencils are pre-sharpened and encased in handsome cedar.

Compressed Charcoal Sticks
When you need a smoother version of charcoal’s qualities, try General's Compressed Charcoal Sticks. Since the charcoal is compressed, it has a consistency that’s closer to graphite. However, the versatility of charcoal is still present in every stroke. These sticks come in both square and rectangular shapes. You also can get three degrees of “hardness:” 2B, 4B, and 6B.
