Soft Cretacolor Charcoal Pencil Black
- Cretacolor Charcoal Pencils are wood encased charcoal with a uniform, smooth and intense stroke.
- They have a low content of binder compared to other brands of carbon pencils, which means that they draw particularly strong, opaque lines, and that the carbon pigment can easily be spread and moved around on the paper with a finger or drawing stub.
- They are available in 3 grades – Soft, Medium and Hard.
- Cretacolor Charcoal Pencils are made with compressed charcoal for rich, dark effects and precise, consistent strokes.
- They are ideal for drawing, sketching, hatching, and smudging with a paper blending stick.
- 7.5mm pencil with 0.38mm diameter charcoal.

Cretacolor’s charcoal pencils open up a wide variety of techniques: thin and thick lines; dots and “calligraphic” or “raw” strokes; light and dark tones and much more. Once the charcoal has been deposited on the paper, it can be processed with fingers, drawing stubs, erasers, water, etc. for a wide range of different expressions. The soft variant is darker and more pronounced, the hard is lighter and binds a little more to the paper.
How are they sharpened?
Because the charcoal in Cretacolor’s charcoal pencils is soft and porous, they can be difficult to sharpen in a pencil sharpener without the tip breaking. By using a sharp hobby knife or scalpel and small and careful cuts, the best result is often achieved. By exposing a long tip, the pencil can be laid on its side and draw broad strokes and quickly cover large areas with tone. If you have a “heavy hand” or want to work a little more wildly and energetically, the pencils can be given a shorter, stronger point.
