These are matte graphite pencils in a variety of hardness. I like Kalour for a lot of their art supplies, but I am not a huge fan of these pencils so far. I would not replace my regular graphite pencils with these. They don't blend well. But they are a good value if you find that you like them.

Fidèle à la description.Bon rapport prix-qualité

Very happy with these pencils. They sharpen well, don't break and are a pleasure to use.

Je recommande. De beaux et bons crayons.

So, I’ve had a bit of a sketching obsession lately, and of course, I needed a solid set of pencils to get my artistic juices flowing. I came across this pencil set, and I have to say, it’s totally worth it! The variety of hardness levels (HB, 2B, 4B, 6B, 8B, 12B) is just what I needed for all sorts of techniques. From light sketching to deep shading, it has got me covered. As someone who’s still learning the ropes of sketching, I was honestly a little worried that a set like this might be too much to handle, but nope, it’s perfect for both beginners and seasoned artists alike. Each pencil glides across the paper so smoothly, like butter on toast (okay, maybe not that smooth, but you get the point). They don’t break or crumble easily, and they sharpen to a nice, fine point without losing their shape too fast, which is a major plus in my book. Also, for those of you who like to shade, these pencils are like your new best friends. The softer ones (like the 6B, 8B, and 12B) give that rich, dark shading that makes your drawings pop. And don’t get me started on the 12B – it’s almost like you’re shading with a black hole, it’s that dark! It makes the other pencils seem a little jealous, I think. But don’t worry, the harder pencils (like HB and 2B) still hold their ground and are great for initial sketches or fine lines. The balance between them is just right. The wooden casing is sturdy enough to withstand my occasional clumsy moments – trust me, I’ve dropped these more times than I care to admit – but they’re still going strong, so kudos to whoever designed them. The set is lightweight, making it easy to toss in a bag if you’re like me and like to sketch while you’re on the go, whether you’re waiting in line at the grocery store or just people-watching at the park. And let’s talk about versatility – I’ve used these for everything from rough drafts of landscapes to detailed portraits, and I’ve yet to find a type of drawing where they don’t work their magic. Whether you’re shading a cloud, creating intricate textures, or just doodling for fun, it handles it all without a hitch. One thing I noticed though is that the pencils aren’t too dark right off the bat, so if you like a super dark, intense mark right away, you might have to press a little harder or build up the layers. But I honestly like that because it gives me more control over the intensity of my strokes. Now, if you’re the type of person who just throws a pencil in your drawer and doesn’t care about the aesthetic, this might not be for you. These pencils are sleek, professional-looking, and feel premium when you hold them. You get the feeling that you’re using something that’s made for serious artists, which is a nice touch if you care about the vibe while you sketch. Oh, and the eraser is... well, it’s there. I don’t really use it that much, because I prefer a good ol’ fashioned eraser for when I make mistakes, but it’s nice to have in a pinch. Overall, if you’re on the fence about buying this set, do it. It’s affordable for the quality it brings, and it’ll elevate your drawing game in ways you won’t expect. Trust me, it’s a small investment with a huge return. Oh, and by the way, these pencils make great gifts. So, if you’ve got a friend who’s into art (or is pretending to be), go ahead and gift them this set. You’ll look like the most thoughtful person ever.
