PANDAFLY Willow Charcoal Sticks, Soft, Black Artist Vine Charcoal for Artists, Beginners, Students, Great for Sketching, Drawing, Shading and Fine Art, 7-9mm, 25 Pack

A drawing class I was taking required a 13mm soft willow charcoal stick, and though this item is 9mm, the thickest I could find at a reasonable price, it worked just fine for my purposes. The price was reasonable. It arrived quickly, well packaged and all the sticks were whole.

I have enjoyed using these

This is great for a new artist or artist want to be. The price is spot on for what you get. And the quality of the product is very good. They last a long time! I would recommend them.

These vine charcoal sticks provide a super even coverage for artists looking to get into drawing. The charcoal is a good color and the size makes it easy to hold. They also come with so many, which is amazing since it is so cheap. The charcoal will get on your hands though, so be careful.

Learning to sketch and these were the perfect choice. Need to wash hands after use, but that is the joy of art! Gotta get messy to create!

I sometimes get the itch to use the willow charcoal and let loose. This is not for fine detail but id you have done it, or seen it done, it will yeild anazing results. It's not top end charcoal but for practice or playing around, it does a great job!

These work great and I like how I’m able to blend them out easily. My only problem is that I’m supposed to receive 25 sticks of charcoal but only got 24.

My daughter needed these for her running start art class. They have exceeded what we need them for. They work great, just as described. Great price if you are not really into art and do not want to spend a lot of money, but need these for sketching, I would suggest you get them.
