Blackwing Palomino Blackwing 3Pencils Set(Original,602,Pearl 1Each)

Generally excellent pencils. Erasers allow for fine work

Came as advertised

I’ve always wanted to try Blackwing Pencils. The fancy shape of the eraser and extra long graphite piece — so iconic and exciting to me as a stationery enthusiast and illustrator. When I saw this set of three featuring their main lead types, I had to grab it. The opportunity to sample all 3 leads and choose my favorite was too good to pass up! After playing with these, I do love that these are relatively softer pencils that lay down heavy black lines! If you’re using these for art as I am, you’ll for sure want to protect your piece after with some workable fixative to keep your sketchbook page from smudging since the leads are on the softer side. In terms of lead hardness, I’d rate these from an HB to a 3B, with the black pencil being the softest (darkest lines), and the white pencil being the hardest (lightest lines). The way I work with these is sketch first lightly with the white pencil, then draw in my final linework with the grey pencil and add details + shading, then finish with the black pencil for final darkest touches to add much needed contrast. The value for the money is great, the wood is high quality and sharpens well without much breakage, and the long length makes the pencils last forever! Would recommend if you love fancy things to treat yourself or an artist you know. But if you want the most precision, I’d still go for mechanical pencils with exact lead hardnesses and widths. :) Though any pencil in the hand of the right artist can work amazing masterpieces on any page! I hope this review helps.
