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

These are AMAZING! Ive been dabbling on and off with pencil sketches - mostly regular drawing pencils. Tried Derwent and liked it a lot. But THIS !! I LOVE the feel of sketching with my Staedtlers. The graphite feels almost creamy in how smooth the fall is on paper and it builds and blends beautifully. I cant go back to using anything else now.

These are the only pencils I use for my artworks. They blend well, they’re sturdy and they last FOREVER.

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.

Best set of pencils I have bought so far. I tried many types. Love these. My lead has not broke once from sharpening on the softer pencils. There’s a slight shine still with the softer pencils but nothing compared to cheaper pencils I have bought. I love the long range of variety from hard to soft. The case that it comes in is weak at the hinges it popped off and bent. It’s tin. However the pencils are high quality and I’m very happy.

These are great. Wide range of shades. Great price too!

Excellent pencils for drawing. After sketching again after years of not practicing. I wanted more depth than using the mechanical pencils I had; but I didn’t also want to spend so much for all the different leads. I opted for the pencil sets and am very satisfied! Getting better every day!

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

Top notch pencils, and sharpeners.

Perfect

Great quality pencils, with its own set of pros and cons. Use this if you want to make clear consistent lines that you are confident of. Since it is mixed with carbon instead of being pure graphite it not have that shine that appears with regular graphite pencils when you shine light directly on it. But also because of the carbon this makes the pencil slightly harder to erase with than regular graphite pencils. Using eraser on the darker pencils can actually smudge instead of completely erasing so be careful. I recommend using lighter quality pencils like 2H or 4H for initial sketching before using 2B, 4B, 6B, or 8B for drawing and rendering the picture. Useful addition for any artist.
