Pastel pencils vs. regular chalk pastels

Pastel pencils are like a ‘medium-soft pastel encased in wood,’ whereas the chalk pastel, on the other hand, have a firmer body which is easier to work with. 

The major differences between these two medium lie in pigment concentration and binder ratio. The chalk pastels have a higher concentration of binder, which is what makes them firmer and perfect for line work.
