Inside the box
Seawhite Black Compressed Charcoal Block
Ideal for broad, expressive drawing and fine detail. Its smooth application is easy to blend and layer to create deep dense tones and is naturally water soluble allowing for interesting line and wash effects.
Koh-I-Noor Gioconda Charcoal Pencil
A charcoal pencil ideal for fine-tuning your sketches and neatening any expressive charcoal marks. This pencil gives you those well loved traditional charcoal textures with great control and a sharp point.
Lyra Rembrandt Chalk Pencils
These oil free pencils can be blended and blurred to perfection using fingers, cotton buds or putty eraser. They layer extremely well and are fantastic for adding realistic shading or highlights to your work.
Lyra Rembrandt Splender Pencil
This Lyra Splender, colourless blending pencil, when applied with a little pressure, gives a glossy surface and helps blend tones together seamlessly.
Winsor & Newton Medium Kneaded Putty Eraser
A 'putty’ eraser which can be sculpted for erasing ease, into a fine point for delicate details (useful for picking out highlights) or used on mass to lift larger areas of charcoal without smearing.
Faber Castell Perfection Eraser Pencil
Perfect for fine detail erasing and sharpen like ordinary pencils. It's great for precision erasing when a little more control is needed. Think of it as reverse drawing rather than erasing.
KUM Magnesium Double Hole Pencil Sharpener
A great addition to any artists pencil case, perfect for larger diameter pencils. The blades are high-carbon steel and therefore resilient and very sharp. Ideal for tapering blunt pencils into the perfect point.
PaintOn Grey A5 Pad (8 Sheets)
The weight of this paper makes it a suitable surface for a variety dry techniques. The mid toned surface is particularly useful for creating dramatic contrast between highlights and shadows.

Absolutely loved this box. The supplies are fantastic and a great start to using a brand new medium for me. I have had a lot of fun with these pencils, charcoal and different types of erasers trying to sketch and will continue to use these on a regular basis. I was able to use these when following a class and have produced some of my finest work so far.

Beautiful box with everything to try charcoal/chalk painting. All items have a good quality and I'm satisfied with my first attempt using this technique.

I really enjoyed working with these supplies. I haven't used charcoal in many years and never in pencil form.
Despite the limited pallette I managed to create a fairly accurate portrait of my folks' dog who is fortunately tri-colour....would have loved a pink for his gums and tongue but it worked.
The print is fabulous and I do intend to attempt a human portrait but I doubt I'll create anything of that standard.
Overall everything in the box was fab! It's pushed me (although I didn't need a lot of pushing) to buy more charcoals in more shades and also pastel pencils. I'm really enjoying working with it and trying to teach myself to be a little bit more disciplined rather than my usual scribbly style.
I've attached a pic of the portrait of the pupper, Kevin the Olde Tyme Bully.

I ADORE this box!! I haven’t worked with charcoal since I was at school and I thought I hated it!! Getting the scrawlrbox pushed me out of my comfort zone and made me realise how much I loved this medium to work with!!
Thankyou so much and I’m so excited to see what’s in the next box :heart_eyes:
A+++

No experience in charcoal or pastel so was very excited to get stuck in to May Scrawlr Box. This box was a great introduction, the sticks, pencils and blocks seemed good quality (although I've got no comparison) the tips in the the magazine really helped me get the most out the box and i had alot of fun exploring this medium.
Looks like I'll be getting messy fingers for while.

I don’t normally work with charcoal and honestly always kinda disliked the medium, but this package totally inspired me to try it out and give it a go anyway. So I did and I actually really like the result.

This is such a great way to get out of a comfort zone. Especially with high quality but approachable supplies

I enjoyed this box the most from all I've gotten so far. I've been interested in charcoal drawing in the past, but I've never gotten to actually try it myself. This box gave me a chance to try it out for a decent price and I had so much fun trying a new medium! I'll definitely explore the medium more and that's only thanks to ScrawlrBox.

This was real value for money! I loved all the pencils and the double ended eraser pencil was such a great idea I went out and bought 3 more! For me the highlight of this box was working on grey paper... I've never used tinted paper like this and was surprised at the difference it made to a charcoal piece just changing up something so simple! Great inspiration again!

Loved the box and the color choices given! ^^

I bought this back in January and immediately wanted to crack on with a portrait of my sons. I am not very good at portraits so really wanted the practice. The pencil rubber in this is a game changer and I was really pleased with the end results although they don’t really look like my kids :woman-facepalming:

Brought this as an extra box. This was one sold previous to me getting my monthly subscriptions. I had early some scrawlrbox reward points so I thought, why not! I am so glad I got this boy, I love the materials provided. I have used them all in several art projects. They lend themselves to many techniques. I love the blocks of charcoal.

I bought this box as it came with charcoal and i really wanted to give them ago. The supplies received were of good quality and again the box arrived with everything necessary to get creative straight away. Definitely worth the buy.
M
I loved it, high quality products and plenty of materials to practice with! It was a little messy, but that’s to be expected with these supplies. I emailed the company a couple times, and they always got back to me very quickly. They were always extremely friendly and had a family feel to the emails. I had a lot of fun with these art supplies and they challenged my skill!

This box has some really great pencils. Haven't done much with charcoal, so I'm excited to try it out.

My daughter has loved opening these boxes, her face lit up and i love that she can try new materials that are fab supplies to challenge her look and try new artistic formats and styles. No problems at all, can't stop telling people about this!

Great product as ever.

Lots of items to try, some I didn’t know existed until I got this box. Really inspiring artist featured.

As a lover of drawing portraiture with charcoal, this box was a delight to receive with some new charcoal tools and quality materials including the compressed charcoal block and Lyra Splender pencil.
The toned paper was also a delight to try and I will certainly be looking for some more of that!
