Faber-Castell - Pitt Graphite Matt Pencil Sets
Pitt Graphite Matt Pencil Sets
Draw with deep blacks that photograph without glare or detail loss
Standard graphite's natural sheen bounces light back into the camera, washing out values and flattening carefully built contrast. Faber-Castell engineered these Pitt Graphite Matt pencils to eliminate that reflection entirely. The matte finish absorbs rather than reflects light, preserving your full tonal range in digital capture without requiring specialized lighting or post-processing corrections.
The formulation delivers genuinely dark marks, darker than traditional graphite at equivalent grades, while maintaining the smooth application and blending characteristics you expect from quality drawing pencils. Break-resistant leads withstand pressure during vigorous shading and detailed work. Water-based varnish coating keeps your hands clean without the chemical smell of solvent-based finishes, while lightfast pigments ensure drawings maintain their appearance over time.
Four set configurations let you match your working range: the HB/2B/4B trio suits lighter sketching and value studies; 10B/12B/14B provides extreme darks for high-contrast work; six pencils from 2B through 12B cover most general drawing needs; while the eleven-piece set spans HB to 14B and includes paper stump, eraser, and sharpener for complete tonal control. Artists working toward portfolio documentation or print reproduction find these particularly valuable, your scanned images finally match what you see on paper.
