Charcoal Supply List

These are the supplies I use in my own charcoal drawings. 

Pencils and Blocks

• General’s White Charcoal Pencil
• General’s Charcoal Set  This gives you a variety of medium through softer (darker/easier to smudge) pencils. 
• Generals Sketch and Peel Charcoal Soft  I like these because you don’t need to use a pencil sharpener. They aren’t the best for tiny detail, but great for those in-between areas. 
• Generals Charcoal Blocks     These are great for larger areas. 

Paper

• Canson Mi-Teintes Grey   I use the rough side and prefer the grey toned pad of paper. The size is up to you but remember larger means easier to get smaller detail if you like a lot of detail in your work. 

Erasers

• Tombow Mono Eraser This is for your smaller erasing details
• Kneaded Eraser   

Misc

• Shading Tools
• Glassine This is to protect the work from being smudged by your hand. 
• SpectraFix Fixative 
• Fine Mist sprayer (to put the fixative in)
• Drawing Board 
• Artist Masking Tape
