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. Derwent offers a comprehensive range of 20 degrees to help you achieve your vision. Choose from the popular HB graphite pencil, the fine and crisp 9H, or the soft and smudgy 9B. As you have a versatile set, you can choose the pencil that fits your artistic concept. 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, Derwents innovation comes from an understanding of artists. Weve produced a range of quality art materials, many of which are made in our British manufacturing plant.
