The General’s Compressed Graphite Sticks 970ABP are designed for artists who work with tone, gesture and expressive mark-making. Compared to standard graphite pencils, compressed graphite delivers richer, darker values and faster coverage over large areas.
The stick format allows versatile use — apply with the flat side for broad tonal passages or use the edge for more controlled lines. These graphite sticks are ideal for sketching, figure drawing, tonal studies and underdrawings, and pair beautifully with graphite pencils, charcoal and mixed media techniques.
Wood-free and fully usable, they can be sharpened or shaped as needed and used down to the last piece.
