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

If you are sending them as a gift be sure to check on them first. The first case I got did not have 2B (duplicate HB) and the second case I got had a hollow pencil without the center. Two cases with issue in a row indicates terrible quality control! The pencils are very decent quality. Smooth and easy to shade with. You can tell the transition when using the different hardness levels. The lines are consistent. I like the boxes for having fixed grids for each pencil so that they don’t move around much. I feel comfortable having hand sharpened pencils in the box and carry it around.

I liked pretty much everything, these are the go to personally since the prisma color ones are a bit more expensive these work just as good.

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

I review pencils on YouTube (rixcandoit), and find the Staedtler Lumograph drawing pencils to be at the top in quality and tonal application. In fact, of all the drawing pencil packs (tins) that I have, the Staedtler Lumograph tops them all in the upper soft range (5B and higher). I believe they must add some carbon to the graphite mix for their really soft pencils to make them so dark with less reflective shine that most other pencils sets have at their softest range. Only the General Pencil Co. 9xxb pencil rivals the 9B Lumograph, but the 9xxb is not part of a standard pencil tin kit.

Bought used like new, and they were as described. Good product, shipped quickly!

I bought the set of 24 pencils, though I expect that 10 or even 8 would be sufficient. Trying them out, I did find that the darkness did vary as stated. One thing I like is the metal box. It has separate grooves that keep the pencils from rolling around and damaging the points. Also, the degree of hardness is written on all sides of each pencil, making it easier to find what I want. I would buy the set again or just replace the individual dark pencils I will be using the most. The marks are smooth and not scratchy from all the pencils.

Works fantastic. Finally a brand of pencil that the lead isnt broken inside every 1/4. Sharpens to a nice point as well.

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.

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.

I purchased these to measure the hardness of lead as in metal for casting. Work perfectly.
