## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great quality pencils
*by S***D on 2 June 2016*

This is a great set of pencils for sketching. It consists of 12 pencils - each with a different degree of 'hardness' (resulting in a range of blacks, as well as different thickness of lines). The range includes 6B, 5B, 4B, 3B, 2B, B, HB, H, 2H, 3H, 4H and 5H. At '5H' you be able to draw a very thin line in light black (great for when you're initially sketching out your work in the planning stage). At '6B' you'll be drawing a much thicker line, and the black will be very dark (great for shading). As such, these pencils allow for a fantastic range and blending of blacks. The hexagonal design of the barrel allows for a comfortable hold. Overall, this Derwent product provides great quality.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Much better quality than expected for the low price.
*by P***S on 3 February 2016*

I Iove these pencils, they are much better quality than I expected for the low price. It is great to have such a range in one tin. I have been using these to produce monochrome colouring in adult colouring books to improve my art skills.The range allows me to produce great effects depth of shade from light grey through to jet black. I am glad I bought them and will definitely buy these again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality
*by 1***7 on 17 June 2018*

Really happy with these sketching pencils. A good range of different hardnesses from 6B-5H and come in a lovely flat storage tin so they can be carried about in a bag. Bought these as they are British made and quality brand reputation and they are noticeably good quality and sharpen perfectly. Good value for price too.
