LYRA - Graphite Crayons Sets
Graphite Crayons Sets
Cover large areas fast with thick woodless graphite that shades like charcoal
Large-scale tonal work demands different tools than precise line drawing. These 12mm woodless graphite crayons deliver the coverage that broad shading requires, letting you establish values quickly across expansive areas without the constraints of pencil width. The chunky format encourages gestural mark-making and expressive tonal development while maintaining the control graphite artists expect.
Each set includes eight crayons at each of three grades, 2B, 6B, and 9B, giving you enough of each hardness to work through extended sessions without constantly switching tools. Paper wrapping protects the graphite while keeping your hands cleaner than unwrapped formats. Choose traditional graphite for classic dry media work, or select water-soluble versions that transform with moisture: apply dry then activate with a wet brush for fluid washes, or draw directly onto dampened surfaces for rich, creamy strokes that respond more like paint than pencil.
The substantial diameter works particularly well for figure drawing, life studies, and preparatory sketches where establishing major values matters more than rendering fine details. Twenty-four crayons per set means you can work boldly without rationing materials.
