What is a "carbon pencil"?
A carbon pencil is a type of drawing pencil that contains carbon as its primary component, often mixed with clay or other materials. Carbon pencils are known for their ability to create rich, dark lines and shades, making them popular for sketching, shading, and artistic work. They produce a more intense black mark compared to graphite pencils, and the texture of the marks can be softer or smoother depending on the pencil’s hardness. Carbon pencils are often used by artists to achieve deep contrasts and bold effects in their drawings and are especially favored in charcoal-like techniques.
