Caran Dache Graphite Line metal cylinder with 15 assorted graded pencils (9B-4H)

Absolutely amazing. Worth the money

Fantastic drawing pencils. Smooth with good tones

I am a photorealist drawing artist and I am always looking to improve my tools and techniques. I read on a few websites that this brand were the best in terms of quality so I thought I'd give them a go. They are pricey but I can honestly say that they are worth the extra money. The quality of the graphite is superior to all other brands I have tried (including Faber-Castell) as they appear to be much stronger and less prone to breaking whilst also producing lovely rich tones. They also sharpen beautifully. I would say the pencil grades are slightly softer on average than Faber-Castell for example but I view this as a positive.

These pencils are very good in quality. I've tested few other brands (good one) but the Caran D'ache are next level. Using the same paper I could easy see the smooth and another thing at least for me, you can use the H pencil por example and when you press looks like you are using B or 2B. I can also to this using other brand but not so smooth as these pencils. Only one consideration. the HB seems to be "darker" than B, quite strange. Maybe it's just my perception.

At double the price of my usual go to choice of Faber Castell 9000's for the full set of 15, these pencils need to be good.First impressions are good. Each grade is distinctly different to the next, they blend well together to give great shading results. Compared to the Fabers the mid grades are similar, however the softer grades appear darker and seem to lay down better, and the H's go down smoother with less scratchiness.Having the barrel colour matched to the lead grade is an added bonus.

These pencils are great but packaging not so good. The pencils aren't padded in the tin and might get damaged in the post possibly shattering the lead in the pencil

They are a good set of pencils that any novel artist should own, and for less than 30 quid, you couldn't really go wrong tbh. The picture shown is using other tools and utensils and not just the pencils alone but you can see what good they do to your drawing. If you are reading reviews that's means you probably want some, so definitely get these ones.

Bought as a gift for a very talented relative.

These pencils are completely awesome! Smooth like butter and the 9B is the darkest dark you can get without shininess. I have tried Mitsubishi Uni, Tombow Mono, Staedtler Mars, and lead holders from Koh I noor, all hardest levels of Blackwing and the Grafwoods are better.

Ich bin ein wahrer Fan dieser Bleistifte geworden. Ob der Preis dieser Stifte gerechtfertigt ist, muss jeder für sich entscheiden und ist vielleicht auch von ihrem Einsatz abhängig.Ich fertige Portraits an und dafür finde ich sie neben den Lumograph Mars/black von Staedler optimal - es ist wirklich eine wahre Freude mit ihnen zu zeichnen.Was mir aufgefallen ist - die Zeichnungen schimmern bei näherer Betrachtung ganz leicht rötlich. In Verbindung mit dem von mir verwendeten naturweißen Papier von Strathmore wirken die Portraitzeichnungen dadurch etwas wärmer und dadurch einfach grandios, finde ich.Einzig eine schöne Holzbox zur Aufbewahrung wie es bei den Luminance aus dem Hause Caran D’Ache der Fall ist, vermisse ich hier.Aber … für alle Interessierten - probiert sie vielleicht einfach mal aus!

Qualidade excelente!!!!

Matite ottime, splendide. Mi ci trovo benissimo! Davvero soddisfatta.

Pour moi, ce sont les meilleurs crayons graphites que j'ai jamais eu. Ils sont idéales au niveau professionnel. Sa boîte en métal ronde est bien pratique pour les ranger et les protéger
