Soft coal pastels
I recently got my hands on some soft coal pastels. They are really good and weren't very expensive.
I don't have a lot of experience with these yet but so far this is what I have made with them:

Coal Pencils
Coal pencils

When working with coal I a
lways go for very smooth paper, as you need to blend a lot to smear the colours together.
Soft pastels like these above are not easy to work with as they are quite wide and don't allow you to make small details. Therefore it's a good idea to use a few coal pencils along with the pastels.

Working with coal is my favourite thing to do. It gives such great contrasts and it's fun to work with though it can be quite hard and it doesn't alow mistakes as it's not very erasable.
