Closing Thoughts
Let’s go over the ones I use for longer drawings intended to be hung at a gallery or someone’s home.

I received my very first charcoal pencil 2 hours ago, and sketched a random figure with it, after using a classic everyday sharpener. (yeah I don't have a blade to do some custom stuff, and I'm certainly too inexperienced to need this anyway)
Verdict : it's really comfortable to use, especially for shadowing and quick gestural lines. However, I felt like I was more in control of my sharp lines and details with graphite, so maybe I will mix my tools a bit.

If a drawing supplies video can manage to make you feel like a total noob, then you know it's doing great XD

I really like the powder. Now I know I don't have to make my own.
