Sketch with precision control across 20 grades from velvet-soft 9B to crisp 9H
Cedar wood casings sharpen cleanly without the splintering that cheaper wood causes, keeping your pencil point intact through repeated sharpening sessions. Cretacolor mills this traditional wood to exacting tolerances, ensuring the graphite core remains centered and protected, critical when you're working through a full range of twenty grades from 9B through 9H.
This expanded range delivers genuine versatility. Ultra-soft 9B grades lay down rich, velvety darks for bold gestural work and deep shadows. Mid-range grades handle general sketching and value building. Hard 9H pencils produce delicate, precise lines for technical layouts and subtle highlights. The graphite formulation maintains consistent performance within each grade, so your 4B behaves like a 4B whether you're hatching contours or massing tone.
Buy individual pencils to build a working set around grades you actually use. Portrait artists might stock several soft grades for tonal modeling while keeping just one or two hard grades for initial construction. Architectural renderers often work the opposite way. Sold individually, these pencils let you replace depleted favorites without purchasing full sets.
