Review: LOVE this pencil. 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

- Benefit from the best: Everyone from beginners to a professional will appreciate the quality, smoothness and shading capabilities of these sketching pencils

- 10B is a very soft lead. These are ideal shading pencils for drawing - create bold dark sections and strong thick lines. Blends particularly well, too

- Premium break resistance means longer-lasting leads! Only Staedtler's Lumograph art pencils for drawing and shading feature a lead bonded to the shaft so they don't break off while sharpening

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality current day sketching pencils, classic design
*by R***B on June 15, 2023*

Ordered a pack of 2H, got sent a pack of 4H. Won't linger on that, though, since theses are fantastic drawing and sketch pencils. Top is the current design, bottom is the older one from decades past. They're great pencils; they just usually run from $1-2 per, so it can get rather expensive to only use these for your drawings. Slightly (not a lot) weightier than the old variations but carry the same category of high-quality lead that is nearly impossible to break unless you're deliberately dropping it.
