Good pencil drawings start with a good graphite pencil!

Experience the exquisitely smooth flow of fine graphite from the Cumberland Valley in England. Derwent's Graphic Pencils are made from the finest quality graphite and purest clays for a smooth line. They are ideal for crisp, detailed illustrations or tone drawings.

Derwent Graphic Pencils are available in a full range of densities from 9B (softest) to 9H (hardest). Pencils in most of the range have 2.2 mm graphite cores, but the softer pencils from 4B to 9B have thicker 3.5 mm cores.

The matte finish hexagonal shaft affords a firm grip. Pencils are pre-sharpened.

So, whether you're doing fine detailed illustrations or adding shading and texture to your drawing, we have the right pencil for you!
