The box prints Ø 3-8 mm, so one pack carries thin sticks for line work and thicker ones for laying in broad tone.

Description
Six natural willow charcoal sticks in a printed card box with a punched hanging header. They are burnt willow twigs rather than a moulded stick, so each one keeps the slight taper and the fine lengthwise grain of the branch it came from, and no two in the box are quite identical.
Willow is the softest charcoal an artist can buy and the easiest to take back off the paper. A stroke lifts almost completely with a kneadable eraser or a wipe of a dry cloth, which is exactly why it is the standard tool for the stage of a drawing that is meant to be corrected — construction lines, a portrait block-in, or the first layout on a canvas before oils or acrylics go over it.
The mixed run of thicknesses in one box is deliberate, and the pack prints it: Ø 3-8 mm. Held near the tip, a thin stick draws a line no heavier than a pencil for eyes, folds and branches. Laid flat on its side, a thick one covers a whole background in two or three passes. Most people keep the thin sticks for drawing and the thick ones for tone.
Willow snaps, and that is not a fault to complain about. Break a stick in half and you have two fresh square-edged tips, and a short piece sits under the fingers far better than a long one when you are shading on the side. Anyone arriving from charcoal pencils is usually surprised at how little pressure this needs — the stick marks under its own weight, and pressing harder mostly crushes it.
Charcoal this soft wants a kneadable eraser rather than a hard rubber one. A kneadable is pressed onto the sheet to lift the powder instead of scrubbing at it, and it doubles as a drawing tool for pulling highlights back out of a dark passage. For finished work that needs a point held for detail, a charcoal pencil does what a willow stick never will, which is why the two are usually bought together rather than one instead of the other.
It is a dusty medium and it behaves like one. Work with the board on a slight tilt so loose powder falls clear of the sheet, keep a cloth beside you, and avoid resting a hand flat on finished areas. Paper with some tooth holds far more of the charcoal than smooth copier paper, which is why cartridge and sketch paper are the usual choice here.

FAQs
How many charcoal sticks come in the box?
Six. The pack prints 6 PCS on the front, and our photographs show the six sticks laid out beside the box so the count can be checked before ordering.
How thick are the willow charcoal sticks?
The box prints Ø 3-8 mm, so the six run from thin to thick within the one pack. The thin end of that range draws a pencil-weight line and the thick end covers ground quickly on its side.
Is willow charcoal the same as compressed charcoal?
No. Willow is burnt wood and stays powdery and light, so it erases easily and rarely reaches a true black. Compressed charcoal is bound into a stick, goes much darker, and grips the paper far harder to remove.
Which eraser works with willow charcoal sticks?
A kneadable eraser. It is pressed onto the paper to lift the powder rather than rubbed across it, so the surface is not scuffed, and it can be shaped to a point to pull out fine highlights.
Do these willow charcoal sticks smudge?
Yes, very easily, and that is what makes them useful for blending. Keep a spare sheet under your drawing hand while working, and lay clean paper over a finished drawing before it is stored or carried.
What paper should be used with willow charcoal?
Paper with some tooth, such as cartridge or sketch paper. Smooth copier paper has almost no grain for the charcoal to catch on, so tone stays pale and patchy however hard you press.
Are willow charcoal sticks suitable for beginners?
They suit beginners better than most drawing media because mistakes lift straight off. The one habit to learn early is a light hand, since the stick already marks under its own weight and extra pressure only crushes it.
What age are charcoal sticks suitable for?
About eight years and up. Charcoal is genuinely messy and transfers to hands, clothes and furniture, so younger children need an apron, a covered table and an adult nearby.
Can I pay cash on delivery for Willow Charcoal Sticks in Pakistan?
Yes. Cash on Delivery is available across Pakistan, including Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and many other cities.
How fast is delivery in Pakistan?
Orders are confirmed on WhatsApp before dispatch. Delivery usually takes 3-5 working days in major Pakistani cities, depending on courier route and city.
