Product description
This set of sketch and drawing pencils brings a wide tonal range to studio work and quick studies, combining soft and hard graphite for shading, detailing and expressive marks. Suited to sketching, life drawing and technical notes, the collection helps extend creative possibilities with clearly graded leads and a protective metal case.
Key Points
The set covers a full progression from very soft to hard grades, allowing smooth transitions in tone and texture for portraits, landscapes and design sketches. Soft pencils create rich, dark values while harder grades are useful for fine lines and structure. The pencils are made from quality wood and graphite which, according to the manufacturer, resists breakage during normal use and sharpening. The included metal tin keeps tools organised and transportable, which is practical for classes or on-location sessions. 🎨✏️
Technical Specifications
- Name: YSLON Professional Sketch and Drawing pencils set
- Count: 12-count
- Grades: 8B, 7B, 6B, 5B, 4B, 3B, 2B, B, HB, F, H, 2H
- Material: Wood casing with graphite core
- Case: Hard iron box for protection and storage
Benefits
Having a full set in one kit reduces the need to buy individual grades later, so you can experiment with a variety of marks from soft smudges to crisp lines. The graded progression supports controlled layering and blending, which is useful when developing tonal studies or preparing underdrawings. The metal case helps protect points from damage while carrying the kit, and it doubles as a compact storage solution that fits easily into a bag or drawer. For those who enjoy traditional media, the set keeps essentials together and ready to use.
Usage Recommendations
Use the softer 8B to 5B pencils for deep shadows and bold expressive strokes, then switch to 2B and B for mid-tones. Reserve HB, F and H grades for fine details, architectural lines and annotations. Sharpen carefully with a quality sharpener to avoid wasting the softer core, and consider blending with a stump or tissue for smooth gradients. Note that very soft leads may smudge more easily, so consider fixing finished work with an appropriate spray if permanence is required. 🖼️
