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

Great pencils for sketching. The tin can the pencils come in are pretty flimsy and come apart really easily. A bit annoying but pencil quality makes up for it. The leads do not break easily or constantly like others Ive owned in the past. I definitely plan on repurchasing in the future a d recommend it to others.

Some of the best pencils I have ever used. Much better then Derwents in my opinion. The graphite smooths much easier for blending, and the softer leads (7b & 8b) leave a really dark/almost black) looking mark. They also sharpen very well and hold alot sharper of a point then the Derwents do. Even the 8b holds a sharp point and does not break off the second you apply a little pressure. I wish my local stores sold these individually so I wouldnt have to order a pack of them each time, but its worth buying the whole kit. I already ordered 3 kits just to have them ready.

I recently took to sketching again after many years, and did not know very much about artist pencils. However, I really like the labeling, the differences in hard and soft, the way they sharpen without waste and the tin. I am a self-taught beginner; however, I like the control that I seem to have while using.

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.

I am a cabinet maker and have become extremely frustrated with Ticonderoga pencils(spelling). I have burnt through boxes of there #3’s and actually threw them away. These are spendy but are well worth the price

i was going to buy a cheaper graphite pencil set. i really didnt have a clue. ive done all of my drawing w #2 writing pencils. a customer who gave an exceptional review, pointed out the shortcomings of the cheaper product. he actually presented a mini-lesson on what the numbers and letters of the pencils meant. what constitutes a good pencil, sharpener, etc. what i, and many other customers appreciated, was that he also gave his suggestions for a good pencil. he recommended staedtler mars lumograph. he was so thorough that i felt comfortable and bought the set. he suggested buying individual pencils, but id have to drive several miles to do that. i paid a few extra dollars to have this basic set delivered to my home. because i have this starter kit, i can, when im at the arts store, pick up a few of, the ones i most use. i feel that ive made a sound purchase w this kit thatll hold me over. theyre professional grade, sharpen easily w/o breaking the lead, with a good metal sharpener. they erase w/o leaving dark impressions. with a good metal sharpener, they have nice points. the lead doesnt break fr a bit of pressure. also, important to we, whore losing high visual definition, is that the pencil grade is in large print, at the top of the pencil, contrasted boldly, white on black. the metal pencil holder means transportability. each pencil sits snuggly in its own well. no hunting for the right pencil, no digging at the bottom of a tote and finding the point broken. if there is an art store near you, you can save by getting them individually. i prefer having them in the metal case. either way this is a good pencil kit.

Quality is as remembered! Great product at a very affordable price. I love the metal tin case because it was something that saved my pencils from being broken at times. I can be quite tough on my stuff so my old case of pencils has some battle scars but despite those scars the pencils are still thriving! Thanks

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!

Amazing product…

My dad uses these for art drawing when I was little. 40 years later when I got into drawing I bought myself the same brand and they are good pencils. I’m happy with them.
