Royal & Langnickel RSET-ART2503 Small Tin Charcoal Drawing Art Set

Great product

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

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.

I am using more and more art supplies and am rally enjoying trying different brands and medias. This set By Royal and Langnickel was purchased as an add on item to keep the price low. Currently being offered at $4.61 with free prime shipping as an add on. Now, what you get for your money.The set Includes, 3 charcoal pencils, 1 woodless graphite pencil, 4 charcoal sticks, 4 vine charcoal and 1 storage tin. The charcoal pencils do not come pre-sharpened so you will need a sharpener. Tin measures 7-1/2-inch by 4-1/2-inch by 1/2-inch so you can keep everything together and it is compact enough to throw in a backpack to carry along.This is most certainly something I will want to take with me on trips to sketch with. I Can't find anything about this product that I am not happy with. This is something that would be good for all ages. a beginner would not be intimidated and a more advanced user should be pleased as well. either way it is a great deal and good quality and should help you produce the results you want to achieve.The contents all work well and give you great results. I tried out all contents before reviewing so I could be sure. I am personally impressed. I will order again when needed.

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.

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.

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.
