Prismacolor has charcoal pencils. They are woodless and are supposed to be the blackest of them all.

I think you hit it on the head when you said these pencils are best in charcoal drawings. They just don't do anything that I can't do better with ordinary charcoals, or regular graphite, depending on the type of drawing I'm doing, and what I wabt to achieve. To me, their the solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

@edinstead

They were sharpened with differently angled points. The finer points worked the lead in to the fibres. The wider point ended up flatter to the paper surface. More smeary. Imho.

2 definitely looks darker - miss-lablled perhaps?

Nero? It’s like they are implying the coal came from the ashes of the Rome Nero burned.

I prefer these to graphite. AWESOME. Have a large supply. They arent too hard to erase. They dont have a distracting sheen like graphite. I would recommend getting staedtler black lumograph to complement these. They are a bit darker and even more matte

Very happy that my local store sell the conte a paris (thats not always a given in Australia) really need a black black pencil but hate the crumble. It seems to be the compromise.

@ramongibbs8692

I used them favorably on a portrait for the subject's plastic eye glasses. The oily build up seem to give a perfectly plastic realistic appearance.

I have some and used them once in awhile. I found other charcoal/carbon pencils don't like to go over these because of the oil.

Glad I watched this I was gonna buy them I too love high contrast and searching for dark pencils could recommend a good paper for charcoal drawing cheers maan👍

@piecetoyou8285

Why do people believe that they can buy a graphite pencil that will be just as black as charcoal when graphite is grey,🤔

Nice one for this thorough review Rix, very helpful as I've been slowly discovering different pencils for both Graphite and Charcoal and your info will help.

i love your review and your humor 👍😂 i think the nero are a good choice if someone does not like the scratchyness of charocol pencils (like i do and my drawings always get messy with characol pencils) i often use them in eyes because you can be very exact with them (i can not do that with charocol). thnk you for your review 🙏 edit: do you have any advice how to get good details with conte paris noire for example? its always a mess for me...
