This Drawing Pencil Assortment by Cretacolor features a softer range of 12 graphite drawing pencils for creating rich black values. The B grade pencils push the shadows deeper and create high contrast and the illusion of depth. The kit also contains a few harder leads primarily used for light outlines and sketching. The set contains 9B, 8B, 7B, 6B, 5B, 4B, 3B, 2B, B, HB, F, and 2H, from softest to hardest respectively. Both the amount of applied pressure and the degree of lead allows artists to control the gradation of values within an artwork. The Drawing Pencil Assortment is packaged in a handy tin for protection and storage.Â
