Thank you for answering my question so promptly, John. I haven't spotted any graphite or carbon powder in Hobby Lobby, the Arts & Crafts store where I shop for most of my art supplies. Nor have I seen it advertised in The Artist Magazine, or any of the art supply catalogs that I get. I must say that you Aussies are advanced over us Yanks! I do have some carbon pencils though, but haven't used them much. I know that carbon does not get shiny, like graphite does. I am also aware of woodless graphite pencils and graphite sticks. Another question: How do you apply the graphite and carbon powders? Do you use a small, soft brush? Tortillions? Or perhaps cotton buds or facial tissue? I hope you do not mind my asking.
