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

Drawing

These pencils can be an artists best friend. Shading is actually easy when you use one of these.

Just got them and surprisingly LOVE them and the 8B is the darkest of any brand if you are looking for a really dark black. I actually bought a dozen Conte Extra Fine Drawing Pencil in 2B (French) because they are so black, but you cannot use them until the very end of your drawing as they are waxy and do not lift well, so it is not a good idea to use them for layering until the very end when you are adding the finishing touches to your piece. Also, you need a very light tough otherwise the lead breaks off and can create quite a mess. And to tell you the truth, I did not think that I would like these, have no idea why, but bought them as I was told that the 8B was really dark black, which is a hard value to achieve. So, I would say that statement is correct, and this brand has the darkest 8B of any brand and I have used Prismacolor, Derwent, Faber-Castell 9000, Cretacolor. My favourite being Derwent, as it also has water soluble and coloured graphite which is fabulous. Actually I am not that impresses with Faber-Castell 9000 as they are scratchy and I think damage the paper, and off course make it harder to lift without leaving impressions. Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!

Very pleased with these drawing pencils. I decided to take up drawing during lockdown and these have been great for that. They come in a tin and are presharpened. They hold a nice sharp tip for a long time.

Ive used these for probably 10 years. I absolutely love them. I learned to draw with Staedtler. They blend very well. Theyre very good quality pencils for a very fair price.

I like these pencil a lot.. smooth .. and very useful .. I got these pencil in offer which made it the best deal ever. You should check it out.

What a great collection of drawing pencils! 12 different hardnesses make this a versatile collection. It is used daily in the artwork. Very good quality and has a sturdy metal case.

This set has a good range of lead varieties and comes in a sturdy storage case. Included is a little booklet that gives you some information about the company, product, other products, and tips for usage. This makes is especially valuable for a beginner. The set is easily portable because of the case; you can just stick it right in your bag or purse, no worries. I would recommend this to anyone who likes to draw/sketch.

I ordered two different types of drawing pencils. One had a case and this set had more pencils soft and hardness levels. These are have a higher quaility behind them and easier to erase marks even in some of the soft levels. Love the quality of these.

These pencils are outstanding. I have tried a ton of fancy pencils and have no expectations when using these since the last few brands have been a bit disappointing but these hold up great in the sharpener, they have yet to break when in use, the arent too bulky and not too light either , and they shade like butter .. definitely impressed, Im not a pro but Id still say its worth a try if you enjoy pencils like I do. Thanks!
