## Description

desertcart.com : Blackwing Natural Pencils - 12 Count, Nautral Wood Design, Premium Japanese Graphite, Long lasting Extra-Firm Lead : Office Products

Review: Worth Every Penny - I used to swear by the black ones, but these are slightly harder yet just about as dark, and the lines are cleaner. Excellent for writing music, specifically, but also words, and drawing, which people are probably doing more often than writing music with them. Which is too bad. A lost art, writing music. People still do it! I do. To what end, I have no idea. But these are the pencils to waste your life with, if that's your plan! The quality is just spectacular, and the graphite is >chef's kiss<. You really do get what you pay for. Three dollars for a pencil? Worth every penny-cil.
Review: Great Quality for Sketching - These pencils work perfectly for sketching. They make crisp, sharp lines while still being very erasable and the perfect balance between softness and hardness.

## Features

- PENCILS WITH HERITAGE: First created in the 1930s, Blackwing built a following that included author John Steinbeck and Chuck Jones, who proudly used them to create Bugs Bunny. When they were discontinued in the ‘90s, devotees paid as much as $40 a pencil. In 2010, we revived the Blackwing brand for a new generation of writers, musicians, and artists.
- PERFECT FOR ILLUSTRATORS & CALLIGRAPHERS: With our extra firm Japanese graphite core, Blackwing Natural pencils are perfect for illustrators, and UI/UX designers. Add our pencils to your office or school supplies so you’ll always have a reliable writing utensil nearby. Use it for a line that is slightly firmer than the Blackwing 602. No excessive sharpening required!
- UNIQUE ICONIC DESIGN: Blackwing’s unique and iconic rectangular erasers are synonymous with quality. Each of our pencils features a specially designed ferrule, allowing you to extend or replace the eraser when it gets worn down. Our pencils make an excellent gift for men and women who like drawing or taking hand-written notes. Keep these pencils at your work desk or use them to sketch on the go.
- COMMITMENT TO QUALITY: Blackwing Natural pencils are made with the finest premium materials in the world. The exposed Incense-cedar wooden barrel, with a subtle clear matte finish, comes from California. The extra-firm, high-quality graphite comes from Japan and is ideal for note-taking, marking, and sketching. Our cool pencils are a sophisticated addition to any stationery kit.
- HOW WE GIVE BACK: A portion of the sales from all Blackwing products benefit the Blackwing Foundation, which funds and develops arts and music education at the K – 12 level. Your purchase helps provide, among other things, the instruction, learning environment, and instruments children need to participate in the Little Kids’ Rock Modern Band Program.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this pencil oriented to more drawing or writing?**
A: The ones I had were white and were a siste softer dark lead. They dulled too fast for me to write with. I don't remember their designation, they we're given to me. Palomino Pearl is all I remember. I linked them enough to find the harder graphite ones this time.

These 602 whatever's are great for writing. The grey painted ones.

**Q: Is it number 2? Or more broadly, will it work on standardized tests?**
A: The Blackwing 602 is a 2B lead, which is softer and darker than a #2. Would it work on a standardized test? probably. But they are not a #2 pencil so use at your own risk. For a number two you can't go wrong with a Dixon Ticonderoga. FYI when shopping a #2 lead in USA is equal to a HB lead internationally. You could call it the pencil lead metric system...

**Q: What is the difference between the 602 and the standard blackwing pencils?**
A: You need to read the descriptions or go to the website. I like the Pearl and the 602's but just for short writing periods. For whatever reason my hand gets tired with both the pearl and 602 after much writing. I feel like I have to press harder. Both are soft leads. I prefer the Natural which is harder than a 602 and wears down less, and is darker. I don't have to press harder to get the look I like.
I have about 10 different pencils I bought off eBay to see what I liked. Each one is different but similar. I love allll their pencils, but I'm sticking with the Natural as my favorite. I hope that helps. All are super smooth, flowing...

**Q: Is this "the reincarnation" of the eberhard faber blackwing 602 as in the same, just different appearance or name? or is it better or worse?**
A: The Palomino Blackwing 602 can be considered a revival of the EF BW 602. The product is now produced with California incense-cedar and smooth Japanese graphite. "better or worse" is a subjective question as the original pencil went through several iterations over the years it was in production.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the Best General Doodling/Sketching Pencils our There
*by S***N on July 20, 2019*

These are hands down my favorite and potentially one of the best doodle/all around sketch pencil out there. While they are certainly pricier, they are worth it. I’ve had my original set for years and I still have 6 pencils I haven’t even touched yet. I knew these would be my go tos for years to come so I bought another set. Different style, but same lead quality as the previous ones I have with the black eraser. Reasons why I live these: 1 lead does not break easily in any sharpener. I only had the lead break once and that was because I really screwed up the angle of the blade to the pencil and was really rough with it. I have been able to sharpen these in electric, Long point, and metal sharpeners along with an X-Acto knife 2. They feel good to hold. Like seriously I feel my brain and hand are more in sync with these pencils and they just help with the work flow of my drawing getting it from my mind to the paper. Easy to hold and control the pressure. Not to mention the way the eraser end is made, it still allowed me to draw with a semi awkward grip even when it was a literal stub (ie no more pencil left and just the pointed part). This allowed me to use it until the last possible moment 3. The lead glides so nickels on all paper types. I’ve drawn in Bristol and papers with tougher textures and the pencil glides so well but still providing enough friction for control. A great all rounder based on the pressure you use allowing you to lightly doodle to drawing darker outlines to even basic shading. All with one pencil. Makes it great as a traveling tool when you want to practice or get tough ideas out. 4. It erases pretty cleanly. The erasers work reasonably well given not as well as my kneadable or vinyl erasers, but for use with just this pencil, they get the job done. The shake of the eraser allows for more control in the size of the area you want to erase and you don’t need to use a lot of pressure. Not to mention you can pull it out and extend the eraser when you have rubbed it down too much. Though depending on how much you erase, they don’t feel they will last the full life if the pencil itself.
