Stabilo CarbOthello is a pastel crayon designed for artists, art students, and hobby creatives. It offers a wonderfully dry and dusty stroke similar to charcoal. With a lead diameter of 4.4 mm, it can be mixed and smudged dry, while contours remain visible. The crayon performs brilliantly on dark backgrounds and sensitive paper. Its high pigment content ensures strong luminosity, opacity, excellent lightfastness, and color brilliance. The wooden sheath helps prevent lead breakage.
