Mars Lumograph Graphite Pencil Set: 6 Count (8B, 7B, 6B, 4B, 2B, HB)

Great quality!

i was going to buy a cheaper graphite pencil set. i really didn't have a clue. i've 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 i'd 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 i'm at the arts store, pick up a few of, the ones i most use. i feel that i've made a sound purchase w this kit that'll hold me over. they're 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 doesn't break fr a bit of pressure. also, important to we, who're 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 it's 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.

I got this as a gift for my grandson who is a burgeoning artist. This is exactly what I was hoping for—they come in a classy tin case and that is part of the appeal of the product. Came in great shape and ready to wrap. As a graphic artist myself, this is the same brand I used for decades.

excellent that’s smooth and easy to use

It is awesome Love the sheerness of it I recommend it

Nothing more to add. This brand is excellent specially with this pencils, love the quality, the texture is smooth and they are pretty. It was a gift for a beginner artist. Great price and quality to star your artistic adventure.

I found a pencil marked HB. Well, I needed to understand why this pencil wasn't a regular old #2. Education for self improvement-being nosey, is a journey. I purchased these pencils in the variety pack and, so far, have found an application for each number in the tin !!!! The 8B is my favorite for marking on plant sticks that doesn't fade or wash away! I know, that's not an 'artsy' thing, but I'm on the path now...

Excellent item

كلشي حبيته

Excellent. As advertised. Didn't disappoint

Ürün çok güzel paketlenmişti teşekkürler. Uçları yumuşak çok güzel kalemler.

I have used these pens for years now. They are so nice to draw with.

It’s the best Smooth texture and easy to use I like the way it draws on paper It’s also darker than regular pencils and which is a plus for loose handed sketchers It’s expensive though but worth it
