Experience ultra-smooth application with General's® Compressed Charcoal sticks, available in three versatile grades: 2B, 4B, and 6B. Choose from traditional round sticks or square white sticks to suit your drawing technique.
Compressed charcoal is a professional-grade dry medium crafted from finely ground organic materials bound together with gum or wax—or produced without binders through a specialized oxygen-elimination process. This creates a responsive, blendable medium ideal for detailed work, shading, and expressive mark-making across sketching, fine art, and illustration projects.
