I think I'd like to do some kind of like crayons or something thicker like chalk, but not quite those things and I don't know what they're called.

Conte a Paris is a kind of crayon. Clay and pigment.

They come as sticks or pencil and they’re great!

You can be expressive and stylised:

Or incredibly delicate:

They don’t erase as well as pure graphite or charcoal, but as you begin your journey that’s actually good; you want to learn to make marks very intentionally.
