Soft Carbon Pencils

Pros:

The carbon is strong and the black can go down nice and dark. They are soft like using regular charcoal but with charcoal you then need a blender if you want a smooth finish, with these you can add water instead and head into watercolour territory. I used a water filled brush pen though any paintbrush and a pot of water would work. I also found that you could get a nice range of values by varying how much water was added. It was nice tho to keep some of the texture of charcoal on cold press paper, but still be able to easily get smooth solid darks.

Cons:

I needed to use taped down heavy watercolour paper because if I had added that much water to my sketch paper it would be a wrinkly mess. If you are not used to watercolours (which I’m not) manipulating how much water to add for different values can be a bit tricky. Although the carbon does blend fairly well and you can add more on top once it’s dry. You will also probably make a mess 😂 (but hey that’s to be expected if we are playing with carbon/charcoal products 🤷🏻‍♂️😄)

My verdict:

If you like charcoal and you like watercolours, it’s a great one to try.

The ones I used were from Amazon. £13 for 6 pencils.

I started with a sketch in the soft carbon pencil on cold press heavy watercolour paper.

Next added some areas of depth

Then using a brush pen I added water. (This is my first time trying these and I had no idea what I was doing 😂😁 the carbon is super pigmented so was great for dark areas but I didn’t find it so easy to do lighter shadows)

So I used the water to put in my darkest shadows

Then on top I used a combination of the black carbon pencil and a white colour pencil to refine the details.

And this is the final result. I like it 😄 it seems ‘Artier’ than my normal style 😂🤷🏻‍♂️😁. Whole process took about 2 hrs.

Flower picking. Working with ArtGraf tailor shape pigment blocks again. This time I chose dark brown, which reminds me of my favorite kind of chocolate. #flowers #viarco #artgraf https://www.instagram.com/p/CM3G1QWFm3b/?igshid=12rfes2gf4mp8
