Art & Graphic Pitt Graphite Matt Pencil, Matt Graphite, Tin of 11, for Craft, Drawing, Sketching, Home, School, University, Colouring

This pencil-set in a tin feels like really good quality - and currently a great offer price for a Faber-Castell item. Pencils deployed and enjoyed already - and do indeed sharpen without breaking. Admittedly only the pencils used thus far so the blending stick, sharpener and eraser not yet tried - but a nice inclusion in the pencil-set tin. Would make a thoughtful gift.

The quality of the pencils is excellent. The price is nice for graphite professional pencils

I only read one review with some negative experience. They lose some of the layers in dust form. Well I have found my old water soluble graphite and instead of paper blender. Technalo 779 is perfect to keep the markings on the paper and it is very good at reducing graphite shine too. Basicly I am doing burnishing with water color graphite and it has two benefits. I hope it helps others.

I do a lot of portrait work and my normal pencils were just a bit too glossy. I get a monthly subscription art box and one month came with the 6b and 14b pencils. The quality, darkness and matt finish were just what I was looking for. Jump forward a few months and I'm now on my second set with now sign of slowing down. The blending stump is great quality and comfortable in the hand.

Love the pencils but this set is expensive for what it is. As others have said there are only 8 pencils so unless you want the 12B and 14B buy the set of 6. You can get cheaper and better erasers and sharpeners. Certainly cheaper smudging stumps. Having said that they sharpen beautifully to a long sharp point as in the photograph which is a 10B they layer and blend well and on frisk bristol board there is a slight sheen in the darkest areas Dissappointed in the contents but not with the pencils.

The best pencils on the market.

Great pencils, completely new experience! I was never able to achieve this level of black with normal pencils... Very happy with them, thank you.

really good pencils

Tal cual el producto de la foto, la calidad de estos lápices es muy buena

Highly recommended.easy to use and very good with realistic drawing

Overall quite liked everything here, the graphite is amazing, not quite the charcoal esque matte i was hoping for but thats just me having unreasonably high expectations, i personally didn’t feel much of a difference in use to normal graphite, but the matte definitely comes across, especially in a lit room. For sketch book use probably overkill and unnecessary, but if you are doing something with the idea of putting it on a wall the difference is worth this set, the darks come across so much better from this set then a standard b6. To be completely honest id buy it against just for another 16b pencil, it feels like graphite and gives a color closer to charcoal, its such a game changer for fast dark colors without needing to rely on outside mediums like charcoal, and is much cleaner and more consistent than charcoal. All in all a good set, no real downsides, but not quite a necessity imo.

I wanted to buy this product ever since I saw it on youtube. But it wasn't available in India for a long time. This pack must have been imported because the manufacturing is of Germany according to the box. I will update the review once I have used it for a while. Currently it performs as advertised i.e. has less sheen than other graphite pencils and is darker.

Amazing depth achieved with these pencils . I can recommend to serious pencil drawers
