Cretacolor - Artino Sketching Tin Set

Artino Sketching Tin Set

Master fundamental sketching techniques with curated tools in a portable tin

A 6B Monolith graphite pencil for deep tones, soft charcoal in both pencil and stick form for rich blacks, oil-based nero and sanguine for smooth layering, dry white chalk and sepia for contrast work, plus fired sanguine stick for warm earth tones.

Each medium brings specific handling characteristics. Oil-based pencils glide smoothly and resist smudging once applied; dry media blend readily with stumps and erasers. The included paper stump shapes gradations while the kneadable eraser lifts highlights without damaging paper tooth. Sandpaper sharpens sticks to precise edges when detail work demands it.

The metal case protects these varied tools while keeping them organized for location sketching or studio experimentation. You're not locked into one medium's limitations, switch between charcoal's drama and sanguine's warmth, layer graphite under chalk, or combine all of them as your drawing develops.
