How to Use

Start your sketch with a hard pencil such as the 4H or 2H for fine preliminary drawings and construction lines. Then work your way through F and HB to the soft grades: with B to 6B you add shading and rich black, and with the charcoal stick bold, expressive accents. Eraser and sharpener keep your tools ready for action, while the A5 sketchbook captures your ideas directly.

Tips and Tricks

• Place a sheet of paper under your drawing hand so graphite and charcoal do not smudge.
• Build up shading gradually from hard to soft – your sketch stays correctable.
• Store the pencils in the magnetic box after drawing to protect the leads.
• Because stains are possible: cover your work surface and wash your hands after using charcoal.
