nitram pack of 5 square medium soft charcoal sticks (hb)

NITRAM SQUARE MEDIUM SOFT CHARCOAL STICKS (HB)

HB charcoals are preferred by artists for drawing and sketching. It is perfect for homogenising tones and retaining tonal detail. HB charcoals work well for mid-tones and for bringing together light and dark shapes. They are also a great choice for scrubbing, using a bristle brush to add texture and smooth transitions. When scrubbing, it is best not to overwork the brush because the pattern can be lost. A light touch can achieve softness and texture without compromising the paper or the drawing.

HB charcoal and a bristle brush are a perfect combination for creating hair. Using the B charcoal first, blend with a grey tone, and you will leave a good tonal surface to define planes and values with the HB stick.

Each pack contains five square charcoals.

Hardness: medium (HB).

Dimensions: 152 x 5 x 5 mm.
