The Artgraf Soft Carbon Pencils share their DNA with traditional charcoal pencils — same declarative, thick mark — but with a much softer composition. The Artgraf Soft Carbon Pencils have a thick core, dense and rich black, blendable dry for gradients or worked wet to pull something closer to Indian ink. They sit in a category of their own — behaving like charcoal or graphite depending on what the work asks for. Viarco has been making pencils in Portugal since 1907, one of the oldest pencil manufacturers still in production. Sold in a set of 6, in Viarco's distinctive vintage packaging.

Sofia J. ★★★★★

I’ve been using these for sketching and the mark goes down like butter—that thick core gives you such a solid, charcoal-like line without the crumbling mess. They feel almost creamy to draw with, which makes shading a breeze.

Ryan P. ★★★★★

The softness is the first thing you notice—it’s almost creamy on the paper, yet the mark still has that bold, expressive weight of a traditional charcoal stick. I’ve been using mine for quick sketches and the thick core means I don’t have to press hard to get a rich, dark line.

Lily C. ★★★★★

The thick core lays down a mark that feels almost like painting, it's soft and dark without any scratchy resistance. I grabbed these to replace my usual pencils, and the way the carbon glides is honestly addictive.
