Charcoal Pencils from Amazon: Are They Any Good?

If you’re looking for an alternative to General’s Charcoal Pencils, maaaaaybe Marie’s Charcoal Pencils will work for you! In this video I open two brand new boxes of Marie’s Charcoal Pencils and then do an in-depth test and comparison to General’s. I’ll let you know my opinion on their quality and what I recommend you do if you’re trying to layer them with white charcoal or pastel.
