Pure Austrian graphite sticks deliver rich, consistent marks in any holder

Pure graphite sticks eliminate the wood casing entirely, giving you maximum material for broad tonal work and expressive mark-making. Each 4 5/7-inch Austrian-made lead delivers the full range of graphite's natural properties, from silvery mid-tones to deep blacks, without the constraints of pencil geometry. The 7/32-inch diameter provides substantial coverage for blocking in values and building atmospheric effects, while maintaining enough control for deliberate mark-making when you need it.

Sharpened tips let you start working immediately, transitioning from precise edges to broad flat strokes as the point wears naturally. The graphite responds beautifully to pressure variation, building rich darks through layering while staying clean enough for smooth gradations. Compatible with Cretacolor's plastic lead holder for extended reach and controlled handling, though many artists prefer working directly with the stick for maximum gestural freedom.

Sold individually so you can stock up on the degrees you actually use rather than purchasing full sets. Order six for a complete box if you're building a foundational range.
