Wonderful product for artists
5 Stars
Wonderful product for artists
Works beautifully and is the same brand sold by dick blick (where universities get their supplies).The eyes are done in conte crayon. The rest is compressed charcoal in black and white.In college I used chalk and white conte crayon for the white. This was my first time trying white compressed charcoal. I think I prefer the white conte crayon which is more intense (use less).
