Working with a chunky block of solid graphite is hugely satisfying, encouraging you to create quick, dramatic sketches and atmospheric line drawings. Natural Graphite has a slightly dusty quality, so it blends very easily and you can even add a little water for the subtlest wash effects. As a block, Natural Graphite has impressive covering power and can be used on its side for a solid sweep of tone. It comes in three versatile grades, soft, medium and hard.

Here professional artist Fiona Peart using Derwent Natural Graphite. During the clip Fiona shows various techniques including creating lines using the block and adding detail to a drawing.
