Large selection of wood-free pencils

Having 2 pencils of each type is a little excessive. I work a lot with graphite and I suspect this set will give me a lifetime supply of pencils. What I really like is the presence of a 9B pencil, which is sometimes difficult to find. But then again, having 2 is definitely a life saver. I haven't had time to test the quality of the graphite, but I think the company has a good reputation.

Missing Pieces from Best Art Supplies

I didn't like that the 4B and 6B pencils were missing from the box. The package containing the other 2 items was undamaged and it can only be assumed they were thrown along without the 2 pencils Revane sent them with. I won't buy again and see no point in trying to get two pencils as I can't find anything other than links to bots to file complaints. The low star rating is based on the missing points above, quality is irrelevant at this point.

Great product, poor packaging

I bought this not knowing what to expect but I love it! They shade well and the range from HB to 9 was good. Overall the product is a good A but I hate the way it is packaged.

Pencils are a good weight so there just isn't enough cover to transport them, causing them to slide out of the tray during transport. Better packaging is definitely recommended. Maybe a…

Cons
  • expensive

The Good: These heavy graphite pencils do their job well and produce a strong, straight line. I wouldn't rely solely on this brand for drawing, but it's a nice addition to my pencil collection. Cons: This kit must have shrink wrap or some other binding device on the box if it is going to be shipped from Revain. . They arrived in a large box and rolled around with other items inside. I'm concerned that the inner graphite could be damaged, reducing the amount of graphite used after sharpening. A…

Woodless pencils. Big thing.

that I bought a few months ago and I have to follow my rule of speaking strengths before weaknesses. I know there are people who buy graphite pencils and rave about them, and there are people who prefer charcoal because it's true black. Well I like graphite and I like a new one too. but I like her. Now, before I talk about banning all those pens. I will say that I found them weak in what they released when I painted with them with no wood and all. I expected a steady flow and I expected…
