STAEDTLER 120-0 Noris Graphite Pencils - 2B (Box of 12), Black

Used to buy these when I worked as an art teacher. Great quality.

I recently started sketching for the first time ever and realised I need to use the correct pencils to get the best results. This box of 12 pencils arrived already sharpened and when I needed to sharpen them again it was easy and the lead did not break-off.I am new to using these pencils so not an expert to comment, I can only say how I found them and they were smooth, soft to use and great for a beginner like me. Another important point to mention is when you rub out/erase a mistake, it rubs out clear with no traces of what you have rubbed out, perfect for sketching.I did a bit of research online and it seems that B pencils are the ones to use for sketching.I decided on Staedtler because they were a name I recognised and they have been around for a long time. The quality is really great and the difference in the no name brand ones I was previously using and these ones was noticably different.The price of under £4 for 12 makes these very affordable and should last a long time.

Bought this set for GCSE art. Good quality and value for money.

This improved my sons hand writing very goodGood durability smudge resistance

Sharpens well, writes brilliantly. Recieved proper cedar pencils, as opposed to the new "upcycled wood" version. Perfect item.

just what i wanted ,i prefer a softer pencil to write with .very pleased them and can recommend for quality and value.

Good Quality bulk buy.Now we've got a pencil when we need one!
