I'm a graphite artist. I own sets and sets of drawing pencils. Every pencil artists yearns for a jet black graphite pencil that is true graphite not carbon or charcoal. I ignored these for a long time because a set of decent drawing pencils costs at least $15.These are the pencils I've been seeking. The 12B goes down as black as a Sharpie and is totally graphite. They run like Japanese pencils, about one grade softer with a smooth feel all the way to 6h.I'm seriously considering buying a bunch of packs before the vendor comes to his senses!One serious gripe. The grade is marked on one flat only. If you are constantly switching pencils, this is really annoying. Less serious. Black is cool and elegant but a pile of black pencils in the unlit part of my desk, is hard to distinguish. 5 stars despite that.

I have been experimenting with graphite drawings and this set has very type of gradient I could want. I can get really dark values with the 10B and 12B. They sharpen nicely with a manual sharpener. The wood does not splint and I can get a very sharp point. Sometimes I use an exacto knife to get the graphite just the way I want it. Well worth the purchase especially if you are experimenting with graphite.

I draw a lot. This set has a good range of graphite hardness and the intervals seem accurate. I almost never need to dig for another pencil to augment the set. They apply well. No scratching and little unintended smearing. Clean up well with a good quality eraser. I'd buy again.

I'm new to drawing with graphite pencils, but since starting I find this selection verity easy to work with. The hards are not scratchy and the verity of blacks is very rich. So far so good. The only reason I didn't rate a 5 is because I haven't yet tried the upscale pricey brands recommended by my instructor.

Full disclosure - novice artists at play here...My son and I sat down yesterday with our new sketch books and pencils and DID ART! My still life of an orchid was so good my husband was at a loss for words (you know, you want to compliment your spouse, but not be too effusive). Having the right tools makes a huge difference - we are having so much fun with this set of pencils and I recommend them to anyone who wants to channel their inner Picassos.

In my local university bookstore one of the items we were needing were 10b to 6b and within the first week after registration they sold out and they only had 2 9b bought them and shared the other with a classmate. Found later none of the students in my class had any of the pencils sold at the bookstore. This set really helped with my drawing and the different uses from B and H . Thank you

They have many different graphite widths, all of which are useful for different occasions. I really enjoy these pencils. Would recommend. I'm a fashion entrepreneur and so I use the thin pencils for drawing, the thicker pencils for tracing patterns, and everything in between for various other projects.

I have just recently started painting and drawing and my little starter set of graphite pencils was dwindling fast. I saw this larger set on Amazon and they looked perfect so I ordered them. They arrived early I believe. They are exactly as described. They come already sharpened, ready to go, and not a single point was broken! I will definitely order from this Seller again.
