Note:

Do not sharpen pastel and charcoal pencils with a regular sharpener because this can cause breakage. We’d recommend using a sharp hobby knife (under adult supervision). Sharpen away from yourself slowly and at a slight angle for best results. For a finer point try using a sandpaper block or fine grade sandpaper. Apply gentle pressure and move it backwards and forwards on the point while rotating the pencil to evenly sharpen each side.

• Includes 3 grades of charcoal: soft, medium and hard
• Great for fine lines: use the point to add detail and precise lines to drawings
• Suitable for broad strokes: use woodless charcoal pencils on an angle for broad strokes and shading
