Review on Staedtler Lumograph Graphite Drawing Sketching by Tara Ford

It's been over a month now and I haven't used graphite pencils lately because I'm concentrating on charcoal and ink in my drawing class. Also a good selection of pens that are great for creating light marks and darker shades. I also used another set of graphite pencils but they became too short and my pencil extender couldn't help the graphite pencils anymore. The only problem and reason for the 4 stars is that when I snapped the wood off my 5B pen, the inside of the LED ripped from top to bottom (I always keep art supplies in the perfect spot to prevent that my charcoal pencils as well as graphite pencils from internal breakage.) I may have just received the short end of the pencil because all the other pencils are perfectly shaved! Staedtler has always been a trusted brand and the pens come in a beautiful and durable case to top it off.
