Derwent Graphic Soft Graphite Pencils, 9B-H (Set of 12)

I was waiting for this for a long time.... thanks to my elder sister for gifting me this amazing pencils... I know the price is quite high...but still I'll recommend to use it...cz it's really good.

Very good pencils for sketching. Soft and make your drawing super realistic. I am not derwent fan before buying this but now onwards i will think for Derwent first.

Pencil quality is too good... Worth the price

Best pencil for Sketches under 1000 rupees. I am so satisfied after use it and the output is very Gorgeous and also Shine. Hiper realistic work easily done by this pencil set.

It looks so good. But the box came a little dented here and there because of poor packaging. It came only in a plastic cover. But the product is good.

Just love it very light weight quality awesome .....worth it sketche lovers really this is perfect choice .go for it

The product looks and feels premium, packaging was as expected. Artline 10B pencil from local store was darker than Derwent's 9B. So I guess I need not order premium brands online for very dark grades.

It's original piece but I got the old stock...

Perfette nella loro scatola di metallo... Io le uso per realizzare ritratti. Conoscevo già questa marca e mi trovo molto bene.

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 Amazon 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.

muito bom!

I’ve been a loyal customer of Derwent for many years. Honestly, they’re some of the best drawing pencils you can buy that aren’t crazy priced. I will always recommend these pencils to any new or experienced artists that are looking for some high quality essentials.. including the colour ranges Derwent also produce! Ive got sets of Derwents that have lasted for years, and the colours, and pencil letters that I use most often and are merely little nubs - you can purchase singular pencils of your choice via the Derwent website, other artist retailers OR you can head directly to the Derwent Museum in Cumbria, and pick them up in their shop (worth the trip if you’re based in the UK, the views are stunning).. meaning you don’t have to buy a new set of pencils every few months for that ONE colour/ shade!! I do recommend buying a good quality sharpener for the pencils, as the graphite can damage easily when used with a cheap sharpener that likes to chew your pencils. Also.. try not to drop them.. they can break inside the pencil, meaning it’s a PAIN to sharpen and will always snap. But I’ve found over the years to keep them out of the tin and put them in an actual pencil case with a bunch of other pencils, as the vibrations that occurs on impact is softened when together and in a soft case (physics stuff innit). But honestly, they are the smoothest pencils I’ve ever used and I cannot fault the consistent quality of Derwent!

Very nice to use with good results
