General's Compressed Graphite sticks are handcrafted using General's family formula, an artists' favorite since 1889. The super-smooth graphite is a traditional, versatile drawing tool for artists of all skill levels. Use it to sketch and create broad strokes with the flat edge. For detailed work, sharpen with sandpaper. Don't be afraid to break the sticks into smaller pieces!

Set includes four sticks of #976-6B Soft, four sticks of #974-4B Medium, and four sticks of #972-2B Hard for a wide range of tonal values.
