Hundred in description should not make you hesitate to buy. - Love love these for drawing on newsprint. All I need is this for block in and one dark pencil for shading. I got confusted by some of the people that think this is not a good 4B pencil because of the hundred in the description. Don't listen. I had very old 4Bs and this is the same same pencil. I needed more of these for block ins. I don't like using 5 different pencils as my art teacher does so I use this to block in, tones, and even do the shadows by pressing darker. Less trouble than having 5 different pencils of different graphite tones. When I really want to do a great job I put shadows in with 6B or 8B. I am not a professional, just love drawing and this is my tool of choice along with a good used (older version) panasonic auto stop pencil sharpener. An older artist told me about it. New ones aren't as good. They are cheap on eBay. If I had to sharpen my pencil as my art teacher suggests with a razor or exacto I wouldn't draw. I break leads right and left doing this. I respect the artists who have the patience. Those long long leads sharpened this way produces beautiful work, but my work is pretty darn good with this sharpener. I have five of these Steadler pencils sharpened and ready to go before I draw. Great product, buy so they don't stop making them. I dont' want to buy a whole set just to get a 4B. Thank you desertcart for carrying 4B in a bulk pack. Review: Velvety smooth writing, cleanly erases - A friend recommended these 4B Mars Lumograph pencils when I commented on how lovely his music scores look. I really enjoy writing with them: unlike many pencils, the lead doesn't keep breaking as I sharpen them; writing feels smooth and velvety; and the graphite is nice and dark, doesn't get all over my hand (I'm left-handed); and easily erases with a white eraser. ## Features - Premium-quality pencil for writing, drawing and sketching on paper and matt drafting film - We stock the whole range of degrees which makes Lumograph the ideal tool for artists and graphic designers - Especially break-resistant thanks to super-bonded lead - Lines reproduce well - Easy to erase & Easy to sharpen with any quality sharpener - Note:Bottom diameter is about 13.25” because it then slopes outward to a diameter of 16” on top. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004L13HH2 | | Additional Features | Shatterproof | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #30,205 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #190 in Woodcase Lead Pencils | | Body Shape | Hexagonal | | Brand Name | STAEDTLER | | Color | HB | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,233) | | Drill Point | Broad | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04007817104811 | | Grip Type | Hexagonal | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Hardness | HB | | Included Components | 12 pencils | | Ink Color | Gray | | Item Diameter | 16 Inches | | Item Dimensions | 7.87 x 1.89 x 0.67 inches | | Item Type Name | pencil pack | | Item Weight | 50 Grams | | Line Size | HB | | Manufacturer | Staedtler | | Material Type | Wood Graphite | | Model Name | lumograph | | Model Number | 100-HB VE | | Recommended Uses For Product | Drawing, Sketching, Writing | | Style | HB | | Theme | Art/Drawing | | Unit Count | 12.0 Count | | Warranty Description | no | | Writing Instrument Form | Graphite Pencil | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** STAEDTLER - **Color:** HB - **Ink Color:** Gray - **Writing Instrument Form:** Graphite Pencil ## Images ![STAEDTLER MARS 100-HB LUMOGRAPH PENCIL HB - Box of 12 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71d-ilsHYYL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the whole box of 12 the same shade - HB ?** A: There are 12 pencils and all shade - HB. **Q: Does this pencil have a sharp or rounded hexagonal shape?** A: The pencil is hexagonal to eliminate the pencil from Rolling.
