Mont Marte Signature Charcoal Pencils 12pce

With 12 wood-cased units, these Mont Marte Signature Charcoal Pencils provide varying density for sketching and technical shading. Compressed charcoal cores offer dry application across soft, medium, and hard grades. Under heavy humidity, the wood casing prevents the core from warping or breaking during pressure-heavy strokes.
