RSET-ART2503 Small Tin Charcoal Drawing Art Set

I am so pleased with this purchase! Royal is far superior in quality than Generals brand (or even Prismacolor when it comes to charcoal pencils-prisma lead falls out on their charcoal pencils but not their colored ones!) This was one sale for cheaper than 4 sticks of Generals compressed charcoal, but would be worth every penny at full price. I am a disabled veteran and a fulltime student (video game art student but traditional artist as well) at local community college using my GI Bill. I am on a budget and good quality art supplies are not cheap. Brand makes ALL the difference. I didn't realize when I purchased this that it was the full kit with compressed sticks and pencils. I was happily surprised especially at the price. The pencil wood is far superior. It shaves down with exacto (scalpel kind is my fave) perfectly to get the long lead so you can use the side as well as point of pencil WITHOUT the lead breaking or the wood splintering. The seller was amazingly fast at shipping this to my house. I was worried I would have to pay triple at Michaels to finish my midterm project in time but it arrived within 2 days. I will be purchasing here instead from now on.

I have not been able to find anything that compares to the woodless fusion pencil in this kit. I would happily buy a whole set of them if they were made available. The charcoal pencils are also great quality, with the hardest pencil not winding up being completely useless as I’ve found to be the case with other brands. Great tools for an even better price.

Good quality for the price you pay. The vine charcoal was nice and easy to use. The pencils were nice quality.

I've now tried nearly all of the pieces in this set & I'm pleased to say I found it wast to use and the items of good quality. I think my favorite piece is the woodless charcoal pencil, though & that's simply because it gives me the option to use charcoal without soiling my hands & potentially my outfit. I sketch when and wherever I find time so having that less mess option is wonderful. The other pieces are ok. I'm a beginner & still found all items sturdy.

I bought this product a couple of YEARS ago, and they are incredible. GREAT for beginners, I used them for this drawing up here and I’m not even experienced with charcoal. They do break, but you can definitely still get a lot of use with them. Oh yeah, my only problems was with one of the pencils, it was just too hard to sharpen (as in it kept breaking. (I’m not an expert so idk if that is normal or not)) and I think they should include a good sharper in the package, but other than that this is amazing.

Great product

Not that impressed. If you have experience with using charcoal this may not be the product for you. The woodless graphite pencil is in my opinion the best part of the tin. Vine charcoal was of ok quality - so useful. The 4 charcoal sticks were not of much use - even the 'soft' was just too hard. Not able to get enough contrast working on a quality charcoal paper. If you are just sketching or messing around then this is a good buy at a low price.

Wanting to try out a new medium, I bought this set for myself. For its prices, I got a lot of uses out of it! Just be careful with moving it around while it's in the box. The vine charcoal was very brittle, and broke into pieces when I opened it after putting it in my bag - It's still usable, just something to consider.

El producto nunca llego y no fui notificado porque, procedieron con el reembolso, pero justo despues de que me lo cancelaron le duplicaron el precio.

muito bom...

Just what I wanted for my partner so that he can take up his sketching again, good quality, good value, fast delivery and well packed!

Also dieses Set ist für jeden Anfänger der mit Kohle noch nicht so viel gemacht hat echt Bombe. Sie liegen gut in der Hand und man kann damit sauber umgehen (: Für den Anfang würde ich natürlich die Stifte empfehlen weil man durch die ein sehr gutes Gefühl dafür bekommt wie Kohle sich auf verschiedenen Materialien ausübt besonders jedes Papier ist ja auch nicht gleich. ;) Besonder überrascht war ich wie toll die auf glatten Papier haften :D Guter kauf gewesen immer wieder gerne.

Los carboncillos de vid son de muy buena calidad. Los negros son intensos, homogeneos y que se difuminan de forma uniforme. Los lápices de carboncillo se presentan en tres graduaciones tambien de muy buena calidad. Las barras de carboncillo prensado tambien son excelentes. El lápiz de grafito creo que no es de grafito sino tambien de carbon prensado y de una excelente calidad.
