BlackwingMatte Pencils - 12 Count

These are amazing! I didn't know that ONE pencil could go from black, BLACK to very light. It is now my one pencil that I carry with me for all plein air painting excursions to do my value studies before I paint. I no longer have to carry multiple. I use it for most of my other sketching projects, as well. They last a long time unless you are drawing a lot every day! They are a bit pricy, but it's been a year and a half, and I haven't even used half the box!

I love these pencils, they require very little pressure when you use them and the eraser shape is way better than a round one. This is my second box I’ve purchased. Weird story - I’m living in Germany for a while and they have these pencils on the Amazon.de website and they cost $90/box! Good thing I can order them from the states because I do not want to do without them, they are that good.

I really like the quality of these pencils, they are very dark and easy to work with. Easy to hold, I can make dark and lighter marks with ease. The lines are crisp and smooth. This is one easy pencil to use.

I love these pencils. Quality is excellent.

Do you like to really see what you wrote, not have some grayish ghost of pencil lines? These are great. Fun to use. Fit in a standard pencil sharpener. The wider eraser at the end provides great coverage for quicker erasing. Be careful not to grind them away in your electric pencil sharpener. The wood and core grind smoothly. Better yet, use a manual sharpener - you’ll enjoy doing it and your pencils won’t disappear in the sharpener. Gorgeous and solid box. Wish I could figure out some useful purpose for it rather than condemning it to the recycled cardboard bin.

I bought these with a little bit of skepticism, just received them today, got one sharpened, and it is such a pleasure to write with, you just want to sit down and draw and write with it. Highly recommend these pencils.

Smoothest pencil you will ever use.It is very pricey considering it’s a pencil but this pencil is known for its smoothness and texture.If you think about it, nowadays percentage of you ever using pencil is low (unless you’re in that field or you are a student) because of it, its now worth to buy this pencil. But at the same time, it is dang cool to have this pencil.So therefore if you want to experience the top of the line pencil, try it.

Any artist can appreciate the value of this creative instrument. I love to draw. Delivery was much sooner than expected. Colleagues rave about a great pencil, now I know why and this seller has my support.
