Charcoals

Let your creativity shine with charcoals! Shop our assortment of charcoal pencils and sticks for your school and art projects at Hobby Lobby. Whether you’re brainstorming and fleshing out your ideas or you’re halfway through a project, we have the charcoal for you. Brands like General Pencil offer a variety of compressed charcoal sticks, so you can achieve sharper edges and fine details. Or, try our brand Master’s Touch if you’re looking for vine charcoal, which is slightly harder and also good for finer lines. Willow charcoal comes as soft, easily blendable sticks that work for larger areas of shading. If you’re looking for something more controlled, charcoal pencils are useful for linework and precise details. Another fun and innovative way to express your creativity through charcoals is charcoal powder. Instead of using a stick, you can use a charcoal brush or blending stump to blend and create large areas of tone. If you’re using charcoal mediums, a kneaded eraser will help create highlights and clean up any edges. Blending tortillons are great for blending out and softening harsh lines on a drawing. Is your charcoal pencil getting a bit dull? A sanding block or a traditional pencil sharpener will sharpen it to a point in no time! When you’re finished with your work and worried about smudging, a fixative spray will preserve your art and help prevent possible smudges. Don’t let your hard work be ruined by a little smudge! Beginner and seasoned artists alike will find joy in expressing their creativity through charcoals. Grab some charcoal paper or a drawing pad, find a cozy spot, and get started! Let Hobby Lobby be your next stop for charcoals and all things related to drawing and illustration.
