When compared to regular charcoal pencils, these woodless ones leave behind a rich, dark colour creating dense, even strokes without the need of applying too much pressure. They exhibit excellent lay-down properties for layering and blending without any waxy build-up.

Why Use Woodless Charcoal Pencils

KANBI  Woodless Charcoal Pencils are the perfect substitute for compressed charcoal sticks and a great choice for artists who want the rich dark tones and bendability of charcoal with the precision and clean lines of a regular drawing pencil, all of which will give excellent light permanency, producing durable pieces of art. The soft pencils will give the darkest shades, the medium pencils are great for drawing soft, dark lines and shading larger areas while the hard charcoal pencils give the lightest shade.

Drawing with KANBI Woodless Charcoal Pencils

Drawing with these pencils produce rich tones and high contrast. It is easily blended and erased allowing the artist to produce a variety of effects in an artwork. You can draw with woodless charcoal pencils the same way you would with any regular pencil. However, you may want to experiment with different drawing grips. A variety of marks can be made by just changing the way you hold the pencil. Using thick and thin lines is an interesting idea in a charcoal drawing with these pencils and can make it look so much livelier. The rule of thumb is that lines on top of things are thinner since light is hitting them and lines underneath objects can be thicker since there are usually shadows sitting there. Another cool thing about these charcoal pencils is that it’s easy to control. You can move it around easily. Once you apply charcoal you can remove it or erase it where it's not needed. Kneadable erasers that you can bend and squash and battery-operated erasers for those tough, heavy-lifting erasing jobs are particularly handy!
