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

As an architecture student, I used these pencils previously and was smitten. They offer a large variety of led hardness and work wonders when doing shading, complex line work, or any sort of technical drawings. I repurchased them for my own art solely because I enjoy the feel and quality. Would recommend to any artist or artisan that needs good, sturdy pencils.

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.

A very useful set of high quality drawing pencils. It covers the range 6B to 4H range required for an online drawing class that I just started. It also has the F hardness thats not always available in pencil sets. Includes a nice sturdy metal storage tin. Recommended!

Im giving this a three because personally i just dont feel the connection with them while in use...and plus sometimes buying things like these online the quality is never the same with so many buyers and different sellers cause Ive bought this brand before and I was impressed and less monry...now I spend more money and they arent up to par as u would think...my advice go to an actual hobby store so u how the real feels and u know its real

At a little over a a dollar a pencil this set of 12 is a great value! From a well-known German company, the quality is excellent.

Im new to drawing, but on my many trips to hobby lobby I have acquired quite a few pencils. I like this brand of pencils the best so far. And when I saw that they made a set going from 10H-12B I knew I had to have it. Definitely recommend!

Very smooth and the different hardnesses are wonderful. I will buy these again when needed.

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 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.
