## Overview

Derwent Drawing Pencils 12-count set offers a professional-grade range of graphite pencils featuring a hexagonal barrel for enhanced grip and precision. With 12 grades from soft 9B to hard H, and dual core sizes (2.2mm for hard, 3.5mm for soft), these pencils deliver versatile line control for blending, shading, and detailed illustration. Crafted in the UK with a legacy since 1832, they sharpen to a fine, durable point, making them ideal for artists seeking quality and reliability in every stroke.

## Description

Derwent Graphic Pencils are a professional quality product that anyone can use. With the hexagonal barrel, you gain greater precision for detailed drawings. The hard (H) degrees contain a 2.2 mm core for sharp, fine lines, while the black (B) soft degrees use a 3.5mm core to obtain softer lines. Be prepared for any project and choose the pencil that works for you. Derwent offers a comprehensive range of 20 degrees to help you achieve your vision. This set contains 6B, 5B, 4B, 3B, 2B, B, HB, F, H, 9B, 8B and 7B in a metal tin. Whether used for blending, fine detailed illustrations or shading and depth, these pencils will help you express your vision. The core sharpens to a fine, long-lasting point, great for emphasizing even the smallest details. The fine point allows for professional-level precision on your most intricate images. With a heritage dating to 1832, Derwent’s innovation comes from an understanding of artists. We’ve produced a range of quality art materials, many of which are made in our British manufacturing plant.

Review: Derwents are some of the best around - I looove this brand, also all their colored pencil lines. I know everyone is Prismacolor crazy, but it is hype. Derwents are just as good and I am a little partial to them simply they are the ones I learn to draw with even as a kid. I remember my first Derwent kit that Dad bought me, 120 pencils and I was around 8 and we were livi9ng in Australia. I love the water color pencils, the graphite, the ink tense that you can actually draw on fabric with and it stays, and the color soft line. I also have a few others, but those are my favorites. I would say there pencils are as good as any other including Prismacolor. Just make sure to get the right pencil sharpener no matter what you use. Get a Derwent battery operated, which is still made or a Panasonic or a used HUNT-Boston, all of which are no longer made. DO NOT GET X-ACTO, it chews your pencils up and constantly breaks the lead. INFO ON ELECTRIC PENCIL SHARPENERS: I am a color pencil artist, and you need to have either a Panasonic, "Hunt-Boston" pencil sharpener, otherwise your colored pencils are eaten. NEVER BUY X-ACTO for colored pencils, X-ACTO will eat your pencils. Until you can find a Panasonic or Hunt-Boston, or Hunt or Boston electric pencil sharpener, get this if you can find one, or the Derwent "BLACK" model as it had 2 holes, one for a longer tip and one for a shorter tip. I have both. I had bought the Derwent one as I have Derwent but also use Prismacolor and graphite. Panasonic and Hunt Boston are NO LONGER MADE no matter WHAT anyone says. I was lucky to buy a new PANASONIC electric pencil sharpener by trolling the net until I found on. Bought a used Boston, model #18, used on eBay and paid waaaay too much. It was pretty beaten up. Also, if you do buy used, get one in the best quality that you can and just pay the extra, I would say up to $35. I personally would not spend more than that. I paid $38 for my new Panasonic. Also, X-ACTO bought out "Hunt-Boston" and all new models are a 4 digit model number, the actual "Hunt-Boston" is only a 2 digit. This issue is that X-ACTO still sells under the Hunt Boston name, and it is misleading as it now uses X-ACTO cutters, which do NOTHING but EAT your pencils. I also do not like it when someone lies about what they are selling. I bought what I thought was a "HUNT" electric pencil sharpener, it came in a box that had the Hunt name and packaging, but when I opened it up it was a, you guessed right... An X-ACTO!! Said so right on the sharpener. Bought on line here at desertcart from Overstock.com, but I returned it and got a refund, including shipping as they were misleading. Hope this helps with those of you who are colored pencil artist. Get a PANASONIC, HUNT-BOSTON or Derwent sharpener. Also, run a graphite pencil through your sharpener first thing every day and it will stay sharp longer since colored pencils are waxy and tend to build up on the cutters.
Review: Quality artists' pencils - I use these pencils extensively for drawing portraits as well as biological illustration. This particular set is the one that contains the very soft leads up to 9B as well as rather hard ones. For shading and darker values with good blending, this is what you need. The harder pencils in the set hold their point well and will render the details in precise drawings. Of course if you draw much, you know what kind of pencils you want and need for your projects. However, if you are undecided or lack experience with this brand, rest assured that Derwent is a great pencil. Easy to sharpen and smooth leads are characteristic qualities. The tin that holds the pencils is nice also. I bought this set to replace a very well used and loved set which had many pencils used down to small, hard to hold stubs--so of course I wanted an identical set. I highly recommend this brand and this selection of pencils.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for doing crossword puzzles !!
*by P***D on November 16, 2020*

We have always bought 1 pencil, exactly like these, from Michaels. Due to the pandemic, we sought out availability on Amazon and were thrilled to find they had them. They are terrific for CROSSWORD puzzles--dark enough, and stay sharp long enough. We highly recommend them for this purpose.
