Carbon Pencil Set (442159)

Good quality product 😊

I've been using them for years and love them!! The pencils are quite smooth, not as much as graphite, but much more than a compressed charcoal. The blacks are deep and rich, the same as most charcoal blocks. I personally prefer to sharpen them with a knife rather than a sharpener, since the softer one break a bit easier.Absolutely love these pencils. I wish they would sponsor me haha.

Ottimo prodotto

I'm immersing myself in pencil world, lately. Its a deep subject with all kinds of pencils out there. My favorite so far is the Staedtler Lumograph black pencils. Deep rich MATTE graphite/carbon combination, NO graphite shine. I remember reading about the Wolffs pencils back in the 70's and never tried them, ran across another mention so ordered this set. These are right there with the Lumograph Black pencils, are not chalky like charcoal, great blacks, no shine, just AWESOME. Ordered two more packs because I will be using these alot. I'm not sure if they are waterproof, probably not, but workable fixative will solve that problem if I want to add watercolors which I will soon try. LOVE THESE!

Best pencils for all skill levels imho. Intense dark matte blacks without the shine of graphite, down to light precise lines. Like most traditional media, harder lead/lighter pressure is easier to erase. Very easy to blend and pick up without a lot of excess shedding. These are my go to supplies and I'm sad the aren't more stores in my area that carry them!
