General's - Black and White Pencil Set

Black and White Pencil Set

Master dramatic contrast from deep blacks to bright highlights

The 525-9XXB Extra Soft Kimberly Graphite for deep blacks, the 558 Charcoal White for crisp highlights, and the 5000 Primo Elite Grande for smooth mid-tones. This combination covers the complete value spectrum from darkest darks to brightest lights.

The extra-soft graphite lays down rich, velvety blacks that build quickly without excessive pressure. Charcoal white provides opaque coverage that actually shows up against darker papers, essential for defining light sources and creating dramatic contrast. The Primo Elite Grande delivers consistent mid-range values for blocking in forms and establishing transitions. Together, these three pencils eliminate the need to switch between multiple sets when working on toned or colored papers.

Artists working on gray, kraft, or tinted surfaces particularly appreciate having dedicated tools for both ends of the value scale. The set provides exactly what you need for classical drawing approaches without redundant duplicates of similar grades.
