The best charcoal pencils

Nothing like them!
General charcoal pencils are indispensable! Especially the super-soft 6Bs. I fill up my sketch books using these pencils, the 6Bs for shading and emphasis, the 2Bs for basic drawing. Unfortunately, the 6Bs go pretty fast, but that’s the nature of them. Dark and velvety. I can’t find another brand that compares.

Best charcoal pencils
These are my favorite and work well with smooth newsprint! I hand sharpen mine with a razor - tedious but worth it :)

Charcoal Pencils
Love these charcoal pencils, really enjoy using them. They sharpen well without breaking and create well defined lines. LillyS

careful
these 6b extra soft have very delicate points. dont use pressure unless when u really need to cuz the point tip will likely break. very soft n delicate. but blacks are very velvety smooth n dark. easy to sharpen.

Very pigmented and good quality
Came as expected, all pencils are 6b and true to color. These pencils, however, are very very dark and chalky so make sure to draw with a light hand or find a 2b or 4b charcoal. I bought a lot since the tips always break off, but that's my fault since I sharpen them with a lot of force with my knife. Would definitely recommend.

The charcoal has hard scratchy pieces in it!
These are not like they used to be! Generals charcoal pencils use to be nice and soft, giving you a smooth, easy to blend charcoal. As of late, there are hard pieces in it that have a tendency to scratch my paper and once in a while I also get rubbery pieces in it.

Parfait
Délicat à aiguiser.

Not a 6B
Delayed arrival. I am an avid user of 6Bs from General’s but the texture is scratchy and acts more like a 4B with how light it is. Now I have to revert back to my original supplier.
