Graphite pencils rated 2B sit in the softer middle of the sketching range, dark enough for shading yet controlled enough for everyday writing.
This pack holds twelve Castell 9000 pencils in a single grade, so a working set stays consistent from first rough sketch to final line. The lead is anchored to the casing along its full length through the secural bonding process, which helps it survive sharpening and the occasional drop, and the outer coating uses a water-based varnish. Manufacturing is carbon neutral, a point that matters to studios and schools buying in quantity.
Good to know before buying:
• Twelve pencils supplied, all in the 2B grade
• Soft, dark line suited to shading, hatching and quick studies
• Bonded lead built to resist breakage during sharpening
• Water-based varnish finish and carbon-neutral production
A dependable pick for art students, illustrators, designers and anyone who sketches daily, available at Boipoka.
