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

I could feel a difference from the moment I started sharpening. It was a nice smooth turn to a nice fine tip. The graphite glides across the page without chipping and erases easy. I like the distinct design and overall performance.

...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!

I love to draw and sketch with these pencils, but I always dread opening the case because it gives me elementary school flashbacks. You know how pencil sharpeners always had that nasty shavings smell? That’s what the case for these smells like. It is not pleasant at all, but it’s not enough to make me not enjoy the heck out of these pencils.

Pro: Nice quality. Good range of light-dark, making this great for both base sketches and adding detail. Came pre-sharpened which is great if youre like me and super excited to use them. Con: Aside from my tin arriving dented, there are no cons.

Everyone has their personal preferences when it comes to art supplies. If you ask around, you will find that the Mars Lumograph graphite pencils have a large and devoted following. Very high quality -- gotta love made-in-Germany precision and attention to detail. Leads are smooth with no gritty/scratchy-little surprises in the lead as can be the case with some pencils. The included metal storage case is a nice touch, especially for on-the-go protection. This set of 12 pencils contains a very useful range of lead densities from harder through softer.

These pencils are perfect for drawing

Gran calidad y muy buen precio

So far I am very happy with these Staedtlers. I am a Derwent user usually but in my last set the H value pencils begin to feel scratchy and were marking my paper. I ordered a set of these while I emailed the Derwent company. So far I have noticed none of those issues with the Staedtler pencils. They sharpen nicely, but do be careful which sharpener you use. The derwent sharpener with 2 holes tat sharpens wood then lead is NOT good for these pencils. Great for others, but not these. Overall very happy with them and would recommend to anyone

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.

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.
