Type: Woodless graphite pencil
Hardness: 8B (very soft)
When creating artistic sketches or complex graphite drawings, the wooden casing of a traditional pencil can sometimes be an obstacle, especially when covering large areas. The KOH-I-NOOR PROGRESSO 8911-8B is a revolutionary tool for artists seeking maximum pigmentation and smooth work without any wood waste.
This pencil stands out because it is made entirely of a pure graphite core coated with a thin layer of lacquer. This provides several key advantages:
The 8B hardness level indicates that this graphite pencil is extremely soft. It is an indispensable tool for achieving deep, dark tones and velvety shadows. The graphite applies very easily to paper, making it simple to retouch or blend using a paper blender or eraser.
By purchasing a pack of 12, you ensure an uninterrupted creative process. The "Progresso" series is famous for the fact that these pencils can be sharpened with a regular sharpener, and the resulting graphite shavings can be used for shading by hand or with a cotton pad, ensuring no material is wasted.
The KOH-I-NOOR PROGRESSO 8911-8B is the best choice for professional artists, art school students, and sketching enthusiasts. It is a tool that turns a simple drawing into a vivid, deep work of art, while offering an excellent price-to-durability ratio.
Although it doesn't have a wooden armor, the 7.1 mm graphite core is quite sturdy. However, we recommend protecting it from falling onto hard surfaces.
Any standard high-quality metal sharpener will work. It is important that the blades are sharp to prevent the graphite from crumbling.
Due to the 8B softness, text can smudge when writing, so it is intended more for drawing and graphics rather than everyday writing in notebooks.
