Create bold and agile marks with the strength and body of Derwent Charcoal XL Blocks. Each pastel-like block contains a high volume of formula, equivalent to 8 pencils. Ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in your hand, use the blocks for large-scale drawings or use the edges and corners to add fine detail and line work.
