what is that big black pastel pencil youre using for the darkest largest areas?

[@carrieforet5743]

What sharpeners do you use for pastel pencil?😊

[@815donalduck]

How do you sharpen your pencils? I keep breaking the tip 🤷‍♂

[@zaratomsart]

@@815donalduck I use a Stanley knife. I find that makes the pencils last the longest and doesn't break the lead like normal sharpeners.
