Review on Pre-Sharpened Ticonderoga #2 Pencils With Soft Lead, Yellow Barrel, Box Of 12 by Cassie Moore

I bought these pencils for art. They work excellently. they Aren't as hard as the typical #2 meaning they are perfect for drawing preliminary sketches and guidelines. They aren't as dark as the #2 so they easier to erase but still dark enough were they lay down a solid visable line. They also hold a point longer and have a longer lifespan than a #2. I use them for art but they work great for writing as well. I prefer them over the #2 for most tasks(I still use the #2 for shading and when I want to darken the lines).Prior to buying these pencils ive been using derwent pencils the derwents were excellent but they were 1.80 for a single pencil at Michaels. These were about $2.30 for a box of twelve pencils and they are almost the same quality as the derwents. Plus they have erasers at the end that are perfect for erasing fine detail. I recomend these for pencil artists on a budget.
