Pacific Arc - Graphite Stick Sets
Graphite Stick Sets
Lay down bold, expressive values across any scale with pure graphite sticks
Broad graphite coverage without the wood casing opens up different mark-making possibilities. Pacific Arc Graphite Sticks deliver pure graphite in substantial rectangular blocks that work sideways for wide tonal sweeps or on edge for bold linear marks. The exposed graphite responds equally well to light finger blending and aggressive charcoal-style strokes, adapting to whatever pressure and angle you apply.
Two sets address different tonal ranges. The 6B to 2B set handles medium-dark work, useful for preliminary sketches, value studies, and drawings where you need control without going too dark too quickly. The 12B to 8B set pushes into rich, velvety darks that approach charcoal intensity while maintaining graphite's characteristic sheen and erasability. Both sets maintain consistent quality across their range, so transitions between grades feel predictable rather than jarring.
The rectangular format matters more than it might seem initially. Unlike round graphite sticks that roll off tables, these stay put. The flat sides create broad marks ideal for blocking in large areas or working on oversized formats where pencils feel inadequate. Life drawing sessions, plein air landscape studies, and experimental mark-making all benefit from this format's versatility. You're not locked into pencil-width marks, the tool adapts to the scale and energy your drawing requires.
