Vibrant pigments perform beautifully on dark papers where others fade
Soft leads deposit rich, saturated color in a single pass, no repeated layering to build opacity. This matters when working on darker papers where pale pigments need to show up immediately. Black Edition pencils combine high pigmentation with buttery application, making them particularly effective for techniques that require smooth blending or bold mark-making on toned surfaces. The super-soft formulation glides across texture without catching, whether you're working on black cardstock or mid-tone drawing paper.
Triangular barrels guide your fingers into proper grip position naturally, reducing hand fatigue during extended sessions. This ergonomic design proves especially valuable when working with the soft leads, which require less pressure than standard colored pencils. Faber-Castell sources wood from certified sustainable forests, so the black-lacquered casings reflect environmental responsibility alongside their striking aesthetic.
Available in 12, 24, and 36 piece sets. The smaller count works well for students or artists exploring toned paper techniques, while the 36-piece set provides comprehensive range for serious illustration and drawing work. The soft formulation excels at color mixing and burnishing techniques, though it does require more frequent sharpening than harder leads.
