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

ideal para regalar a mi hija q le encanta dibujar

After looking in to a good set of drawing pencils, these are excellent for any level. I will definitely get more when my current set gets low.

...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!

These are currently my favorite graphite pencils. Ive used derwent for years and those are good too but I feel like these are a bit smoother. I primarly use them for graphite portraits. The only thing I like the derwent pencils more for is that I feel like the size of the cores are a bit larger in the derwents than these but I prefer the softer leads in these. Something to know about the Staedtler 7B and 8B is that they do not have that graphite shine, the Derwent 7B and 8B do. This particular set does not have the 7B and 8B but I thought its something interesting to know when comparing those two brands.

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 was going to buy a cheaper graphite pencil set. i really didnt have a clue. ive 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 id 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 im at the arts store, pick up a few of, the ones i most use. i feel that ive made a sound purchase w this kit thatll hold me over. theyre 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 doesnt break fr a bit of pressure. also, important to we, whore 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 its 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.

Definitely a great value for the money. The set is nice the container might not be completely effective but if youre on a stable surface it should not be a problem the shades are good from light to dark and you have to take into account that the light ones will fade less fast then the dark so be gentle with your dark pencils its very smooth so you dont have to put too much force into it I think its great for artists of all levels.

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.

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.

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!
