LyraRembrandt Art Design Drawing Pencil, 4H Lead, 1 Pencil (1110114)

A pencil suitable for illustration If you want that sharp feeling. I have tried many pencils, but this pencil is the best for drawing illustrations, especially when I sketch models or when drawing very small eyes, noses and mouths, etc... Also, when you want to give a thin and sharp feeling with a clear outline. It's my favorite pencil and I love it very much. Will continue to purchase. Fast shipping and we'll packaged.

I buy lots of pencils for drawing and I would rate these as being in the top group of all my pencils. They are almost on par with the Faber Castell 9000s. They do only go up to 6b so you will need other pencils to get your really dark darks, but they do offer a good gradation from the 4h to the 6b. I'm a big fan of pencils made in Germany and Japan so I was expecting these to be good and I haven't been disappointed.

So I went through many products, read many reviews and tested out different brands before I purchased this set of sketching pencils. I was a little skeptical at first when I bought these, but I'm here to tell you, the positive reviews you see are true.I'm an amateur artist who just got back into sketching. I had a few different cheap sets of sketching pencils and really didn't think that they affected the quality of the art produced. However, after getting these pencils, I realize that good quality pencils actually do make a huge difference. From the actual flow of sketching to the frequency of sharpening, these pencils are 100% worth the cost. I tried out a cheap set (General's) from Michael's, then a more expensive set (Faber Castell), and even purchased a few individual Derwent pencils. Out of all of those brands, I still recommend this set. These pencils will out perform those other brands 110% hands down.Not only do you get GREAT quality, the presentation is also extremely nice. It comes in a nice metal box, that keeps the tips of the pencils from breaking.Overall, it's cheaper than the Faber Castell set at Michael's and the quality surpasses any beginner or intermediate set by far. I would definitely recommend to any amateur/novice/intermediate and even pro level artists out there!

These are a nice pencil which have a nice, smooth feel for drawing. When testing side by side with two other brands I have, Derwent and Koh-I-Noor, these as more quiet due to the soft and smooth flow across the paper. (Not that any of my pencils are loud. Of course all are quiet but if you are trying to compare brands this one has a less scratchy sound.) I only gave them 4 stars though because in my testing when I shaded an area using the 6B with all three brands, and then tried erasing a line through each block I found that the Derwent had a more responsive and clean erasure, both at one swipe and after a few back and forth marks. However, these Lyras did erase well enough, and if I didn't have the Derwents I might have just said that the Lyras erase very nicely. The difference is quite noticable though, so if erasure marks are really important to you to get a bright white, you might want to try Derwents. But I do like the smoothness of the graphite marks with these Lyras. They are a very solid choice.

Good value for money, buy 2 times

Todo me agradó de este producto

Wasn't impressed. Hb was very scratchy, especially when compared to both leading brands and cheaper ones. This was my biggest complaint. The grade color didn't go dark enough for me. I had a 2b in another leading brand that went darker than the 6b in this one. Just can't see paying the same amount for these as I could get a better brand for the same price. I went with faber castell 9000 and I'm super satisfied.

Good pencils. Nice hardness / softness.I wish they were color coded so I could find them faster. Metal case is a nice touch for the artist on-the-go.

O produto chegou bem embalado e poucos dias antes do prazo. Veio bem apontadinho, dentro de uma caixinha de lápis e ainda acompanhou umas balinhas de presente. Bacana! Difícil achar um lápis 9B, estou satisfeita!

Muy buen producto

Excelente calidad de mina. Tiene una buena gama de tonalidad, y apenas deja residuo en el papel. El estuche es metálico, lo cual ayuda a conservar los lápices sin riesgo de fractura.

Grafitos de una calidad excelente y muy buena presentacion

Adorei!
