STAEDTLER Lumograph Graphite Drawing and Sketching Pencils 100G6, Set of 6 Degrees in an Attractive Storage Tin (100G6)

...but its my fault because I didnt know how these worked! I thought I would give drawing a try so I bought these sketching pencils. They do what they claim! The thing is, MY preference is to draw with a nice, fresh point and I needed to keep sharpening them. At this rate, they wont last long! There is nothing wrong with them but I think Ill go back to my mechanical pencil!

Exactly as described, quick shipping. Thank you!

Great quality pencils, with its own set of pros and cons. Use this if you want to make clear consistent lines that you are confident of. Since it is mixed with carbon instead of being pure graphite it not have that shine that appears with regular graphite pencils when you shine light directly on it. But also because of the carbon this makes the pencil slightly harder to erase with than regular graphite pencils. Using eraser on the darker pencils can actually smudge instead of completely erasing so be careful. I recommend using lighter quality pencils like 2H or 4H for initial sketching before using 2B, 4B, 6B, or 8B for drawing and rendering the picture. Useful addition for any artist.

Amazing product…

At a little over a a dollar a pencil this set of 12 is a great value! From a well-known German company, the quality is excellent.

Of all the pencils I have tried, these are my favorite. I love the case, too. Some cases are constantly falling open and spilling contents everywhere and this case stays closed in my bag. Great quality. Im pleased.

for beginner is good but for professional I think you need a higher level

Recibí este producto la semana pasada y lo he estado usando para hacer retratos. La suavidad de los lápices y las tonalidades me tienes encantada. Me ha ayudado mucho a mejorar mis dibujos. Mis profesoras de dibujo y también varios artistas de YouTube recomiendan estos lápices.

Although these are specifically made for drawing, my purchase intent is for a lead hardness verification kit. Staedtler is well know for compliance with industry standards and quality assurance. That said, for testing scrap lead as to hardness, this kit of known verified grading, allows me to use them to quickly check lead for ranging it hardness. good deal on a good product.

Great pencils, well marked and good little container.
