12-Grade Graphite Drawing Pencil Set in Metal Tin
Specifications, features and wholesale packaging
A complete 12-grade graphite pencil collection designed for sketching, tonal studies, detailed drawing, shading, illustration, and technical work. The carefully balanced range extends from deep, expressive 8B graphite to precise 2H, allowing artists and students to move naturally between soft dark values, controlled mid-tones, and fine construction lines. Each pencil is housed in a protective metal tin for organised storage and presentation.
01 Controlled Graphite for Every Drawing Stage
Created for artists, students, illustrators, designers, and technical users, this coordinated graphite set provides a carefully selected progression of twelve hardness grades. Softer pencils support deep shadows, expressive sketching, blending, and broad tonal work, while firmer grades produce lighter marks, clean contours, measured construction lines, and controlled detail.
The graphite cores are formulated for smooth and even application, allowing values to be layered gradually without sudden changes in tone. The set is suitable for both preliminary studies and more developed finished work.
