Sketching with graphite charcoal compressed stick is a lot of fun because it's so freeing to make big, sweeping movements across your paper whilst getting messy. The dense sticks don’t look easy to master, but with practice, they can yield a wonderful variety of tones and lines. The graphite and charcoal pencils come in a range of hardness levels, perfect for capturing dark or delicate tones, and for blending shading and fine detail.
Compressed charcoals give rich, smooth blacks that are blendable. The more pressure you apply, the darker and more solid your line will appear. Great for drawing art on paper, cloth, or rough poster board. Our compressed graphite charcoal stick set comes with a plastic storage container to keep square sticks organized at home, school, or anywhere. It is popular with art students and adults for hands-on, expressive charcoal drawing.

Graphite Charcoal Sticks

I use them to sketch outlines on canvas before painting or Oil Pastels. They work great for that.You might consider a higher priçed/quality set for serious drawing needs. They might be fine for charcoal art, I just needed some charcoal the same size as my Pastels. They fit nicely in a Pastel box.

I ordered these to experiment with, rather than using my brand-name charcoals. They're decent quality, better than I expected, but much smaller than I'm used to for compressed charcoal--much thinner (5mm) and a bit shorter. That's not all bad, though, since it makes finding a point to draw a fine line easier. Like all charcoals, the charcoal sticks and white charcoal are fragile. The graphite sticks, however, are less easily broken.Between the three hardnesses of charcoal, the white charcoal, and the five hardnesses of graphite, it's easy to get a full spectrum of greys from deep black to bright white, in both matte (charcoal) and more reflective (graphite) tones. They blend very well with a finger, towel, or blending stumps, but like all charcoals, you're going to need to wash your hands later unless you use charcoal holders on everything, and light colors will be showing specks of black dust when you're done.At their current price of $15, it's an okay value, but I'm not thrilled; they'd be a solid purchase if you can find them on sale around $10 or less, so add them to your wishlist and watch.

Great variety and quality. They last too! I use the soft charcoal quite a bit and still have most of the stick left. Highly recommend!
