Faber-Castell Art & Graphic Pitt Graphite Matt Pencil, Tin of 6, for Craft, Drawing, Sketching, Home, School, University, Colouring

As described good quality

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.

Really nice set of pencils black to grey usual quality from this manufacturer

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

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.

These pencils are in fact sheen free. However I feel they are a bit harder than standard graphite pencils. No breakage at all and great quality. Will be re- purchasing

The best pencils on the market.

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.

Ich habe schon viele Bleistifte ausprobiert, aber dieses Set von Faber-Castell ist ein echter Gamechanger für meine Zeichnungen. Das größte Problem bei herkömmlichem Graphit ist ja oft dieser silbrige Glanz, wenn man stark aufdrückt oder dunkle Flächen füllt. Bei diesen "Matte" Stiften passiert das absolut nicht. Was mir besonders gefällt: Keine Reflexionen: Selbst unter direktem Licht bleiben die dunklen Stellen tiefschwarz und matt. Das macht das Scannen oder Fotografieren der Bilder viel einfacher. Härtegrade: Die Spanne von 2B bis 12B ist ideal. Besonders das 12B ist extrem weich und satt, fast wie Kohle, aber ohne das Geschmiere. Qualität: Die Minen sind sehr stabil und brechen beim Spitzen nicht ab – eben typisch Faber-Castell Qualität. Fazit: Für Porträts oder realistische Zeichnungen, bei denen man echtes Schwarz ohne Blendeffekt braucht, sind sie jeden Cent wert. Kann ich jedem Hobby- oder Profikünstler nur ans Herz legen!

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.
