FAQ
Who’s behind Mad Art Materials?
I’m Josh Hernandez, aka Mad Charcoal. I started this brand because I needed better tools for my own work, so I built them. Every product here is something I personally stand behind and use in the studio.
What makes your charcoal different?
It hits harder, darker blacks, smoother blends, and full control. These materials were dialed in through tons of testing until they matched the quality I needed for pro-level portraits and big impact.
Can I trust the quality?
100%. If I wouldn’t use it in my own art, I wouldn’t sell it. We’ve shipped to many artists around the world, and we take feedback seriously. If anything’s off, we’ll fix it.
Is this just for advanced artists?
Not at all. Whether you’re sketching your first portrait or dropping full-scale pieces, these tools are made to feel good from day one. No fluff, just solid gear that helps you level up.
Do you ship worldwide?
Yeah, we ship globally. Wherever you’re making art, we’ll get your tools there. Shipping costs and delivery times vary, but we try to keep it simple and fast.
What if there’s a problem with my order?
We’ve got you. Just hit us up if something’s wrong and we’ll make it right. No runaround.
How can I see the materials in action?
Check out my content (@madcharcoal) on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Everything you see there is made with Mad Art gear. It’s the real deal.
