The Charcoal Drawing KIT is a versatile drawing set designed for upper‑grade students and adults. It supports tonal studies, observational drawing, gesture work, and value development across multiple subjects and skill levels.
This kit includes enough materials for a season of drawing practice and pairs well with animal studies, botany, mineralogy, and general upper‑grade drawing work. It also works beautifully for adult charcoal and watercolor classes.
What’s Included:
- Willow Charcoal (Soft) For loose gesture sketches and initial forms.
- Compressed Charcoal (Medium) Adds structure, contrast, and definition.
- Kneaded Eraser For lifting highlights and refining contours.
- Chamois Cloth Smooth blending for fur, feathers, leaves, stones, and soft transitions.
- Blending Stump (Tortillon) For controlled shading and detail work.
- Strathmore 400 5×7 Sketch Pad Ideal for practice drawings, warm‑ups, and observational studies.
Why This KIT:
This charcoal kit is intentionally universal. It keeps materials simple and focused while giving students and teachers the tools needed for shading, texture, gesture drawing, and value studies. It works across multiple grades and subjects without duplicating other kits.

About the Paper:
The included 5×7 Strathmore pad is perfect for practice, but it will not last through a full year of charcoal work. Students move through paper quickly during multi‑week blocks, and charcoal requires surfaces that can handle layering, erasing, and blending.
If you need a full‑year solution, the Charcoal Paper KIT provides the three essential surfaces for sustained work: manila, black, and toned grey — each chosen for durability and value‑based drawing.
