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

These are my first sketching pencils so i did my research before buying them. I wanted something that was going to be quality and to have options. I mainly use the lightest shade to sketch and paint over it but having other pencils gives me the option to venture out and do some more sketching. They’re overall great quality. I definitely would recommend.

Best drawing pencils in the world, bar none! They resist breaking during sharpening, and you get the blackest blacks (instead of just shiny grey) when you need it. So many old & beloved art supply firms have gone under due to Asian competition. Im delighted to see Staedtler is still there making great stuff.

these were recommended by a friend and I could not decide which size package to buy. I like that this has six pencils and frankly probably a good enough assortment of pencils. I like the little tin case to keep my pencils in and think it is a perfect size. I will probably replace my favorites one by one and continue to use the case. It is sturdy metal and has a hinged cover that snaps on tightly. The six pencils chosen include from soft to hard lead for details and shading. I would recommend this set to anyone serious about drawing. The only thing I might like better is if they were round instead of six sided. The six sided is nice because your pencils will not roll off the table but I find that round pencils are easier to sharpen without breaking. Be careful when sharpening!

Bought these for my artist Adult daughter in law. Superb quality. She said they are her favorite pencils for drawing portraits. Would definitely buy again.

My favorite drawing pencils ever! I have purchased several of these for artist friends, as well, just because I want them to be experiencing the best pencils, too! (This is not a paid advertisement...I didnt get a discount on these or free samples, Im just a huge fan!) This is a great starter set, too, although they dont have anything beyond a 6b. There is another set you can buy that goes up to 8b.

These are great pencils for me as a starter set. I love them.

...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!

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.

very good thx

Top notch pencils, and sharpeners.
