Cretacolor - Artist Studio Sets
Complete graphite and charcoal sets in portable packaging for studio or travel
Six charcoal variations (including sepia, sanguine, and white chalk alongside standard grades), three graphite pencils, and a blending stump. You move from hard charcoal's crisp lines through soft charcoal's rich blacks, understanding how each grade responds to pressure and paper texture.
The Graphite set spans the full hardness range from 6B to 4H, with doubled HB pencils since that's the workhorse grade you'll deplete first. This spread lets you test whether 2H or 4H suits your line work better, whether 4B or 6B achieves the tonal depth you're after. Card packaging keeps pencils organized and protected without the bulk of wooden boxes, slides into backpacks, portfolios, or desk drawers without drama.
Cretacolor manufactures these pencils to the same standards as their premium lines, just packaged for economy. You get consistent graphite and charcoal formulations that sharpen cleanly and lay down predictable values, essential when you're learning how grades interact. Build fundamental drawing skills with tools that won't frustrate through inconsistent quality.
