STAEDTLER Mars Lumograph 6B Graphite Art Drawing Pencil, 6 Pencils

These pencils are perfect for drawing! The lead is soft and smooth, allowing for effortless shading and blending. I love how consistent the texture is — it gives me great control over both fine details and rich, dark tones. The quality is clearly superior compared to regular pencils, and they don’t break easily when sharpening. Whether you’re sketching or working on detailed illustrations, these pencils feel professional and comfortable to use. Highly recommended for any artist who values softness and precision.

I got the 5B pencils to give my sketches some depth and contrast. These are really nice. They have no eraser, as "professional" pencil should be constructed. I recommend these for sketching and drawing. I suppose you can use them for drafting (does anybody do that anymore?) if you keep a sharpener handy. I sharpened one several times with an electric pencil sharpener; the lead never broke during sharpening or while drawing. In summary, these are good high-quality pencils for a good price.

These are expert pencils. They have been recommended by many artists. Easy to erase and marks are clear and concise. I would recommend for watercolor artists to transfer their images.

Great sketch pencils. Draw lightly or heavily easily. Erases with moldable eraser with ease.

These pencils are pretty dark for 4H, more like 2 H.

this is a number 2 pencil, dark lead. lead does not break, holds sharpness well. good value and great product.

These are my favorite pencils. Feel comfortable in the hand and the lead stroke is consistent density and true to the softness number.

I like these pencils.The Staedtler lumograph are well balanced and are a joy to use.

I am a sucker for making my presketch really light before inking so 10H lead, the hardest lead, is my choice of lightness. It certainly a difference in lightness when I came from using 4H and 6H pencils. This brand also has reliable unbreakble lead that never once happened to me using these pencils. Being a hard pencil they certainly going to last a loooong time (1 hard pencil lasts me a year of everyday sketching). I'm gonna keep using them till the day I die.

Très bien !
