Staedtler Mars Lumograph Black 100B (6 pcs)

Staedtler Mars Lumograph Black 100B is a set of extra-black drawing pencils for those who want deep, matte lines with a distinctive, jet-black character. The carbon-containing lead produces an intense black line, making it particularly well suited to sketches, drawing and graphic details. The pencils come in a practical metal tin, making them easy to carry in a pencil case, bag or studio kit. You also get assorted grades, so you can vary both expression and line intensity in your work.

Use
Use the pencils for sketching, drawing and hatching when you want a bold black line with a matte finish. The assorted grades make it easy to move from soft, dark shading to more controlled lines and outlines. The set suits beginners who would like to try several grades, as well as more experienced artists who work deliberately with tone and contrast. It also makes an ideal small gift for the creative person who likes to draw on the go.

Product benefits

• Extra-black, matte line: The lead contains a high proportion of carbon, giving matte, jet-black lines. This makes it easy to create clear contrast and depth in both sketches and finished drawings.
• Break-resistant lead: The extra-reinforced lead is designed to withstand everyday use. You’ll get fewer broken points during pressure, sharpening and transport.
• Assorted grades in a metal tin: With several grades in one tin, you can work more flexibly with line and shading. The metal tin protects the pencils and keeps the set together and easy to organise.

Tips for use
Start with a harder pencil for light outlines and build up darker shading with the softer grades for a more lively result. For an even finish, work in layers with a light touch rather than pressing hard from the start. Sharpen the pencils frequently to keep lines crisp—especially for details and hatching. Store the pencils in the metal tin so the points are better protected during transport.

Why choose these drawing pencils?
If you want a set of pencils that delivers a consistent, deep black line and is also robust in use, Mars Lumograph Black 100B is a strong choice.
