Mont Marte Charcoal Pencil, 12pcs, Deep Rich Tone2

The pencils come in a mix of grades from soft to hard, giving you a range for varied shading—from light, delicate grays to rich, dark tones and fine details.

Start with light, even strokes to establish a base, then gradually build up darker layers with increased pressure. Blend between layers using a blending stump or tissue, and lift or refine edges with a kneaded eraser to enhance contrast.

Midweight to heavyweight drawing papers, bristol board, or toned paper with some tooth are ideal. Textured or lightly textured surfaces help grab the pigment for richer shading, while very smooth surfaces may require more layering.

Use a sharpener designed for charcoal pencils and sharpen in short, controlled strokes. The set’s durable casing helps prevent breakage during sharpening, and storing them in the included case reduces damage.

Yes, Mont Marte charcoal pencils are formulated for art use and are non-toxic. As with all art supplies, avoid ingestion and keep pencils out of reach of small children without supervision.

Use them for portrait shading, landscape studies, quick gesture drawings, architectural line work, and tonal studies. The blendability and range of grades make them versatile for both light sketches and deep shadows.

To blend, use a blending stump, tortillon, or even a soft tissue. Apply gentle, circular motions to merge tones, and use a kneaded eraser to lift highlights or soften edges for a more natural transition.

Fixative spray can help protect the surface from smudging. Store drawings flat or in protective sleeves, and avoid excessive handling of freshly drawn areas to keep details crisp.

Begin with light 2B–4B textures to map out shapes and values. Gradually layer darker grades to deepen shadows, then blend softly and refine edges. Practice controlled pressure to understand how each grade responds on your chosen paper.

Yes, the 12pcs set is packaged in a durable casing designed to protect the pencils during sharpening and storage, keeping them organized and ready to use.
