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.
Key Features
- Compressed Charcoal Core: Uniform carbon density across all 12 wood-cased units. Reduces skipping on textured paper.
- Timber Shell Casing: Protective wood surrounds the brittle charcoal core. Keeps fingers clear of soot and dust.
- Variable Grade Distribution: Set includes 6 Soft, 4 Medium, and 2 Hard leads. Covers everything from deep shadows to sharp lines.
- Dry Pigment Formula: High-pigment charcoal for smudging and blending. Works with a blending stump or kneadable eraser.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to sharpen Mont Marte charcoal pencils?

The 6 Soft pencils in this set produce deep blacks for hair and shadows. Harder grades maintain the fine detail needed for facial features.
