Excellent drawing pencils!!
5 Stars
Excellent drawing pencils!!
I do a lot of pencil drawing and usually keep it simple; most of my work is done with a #2 or HB pencil, and final dark shading is done with 2B and 6B. However, as I continue to improve my drawing ability, I decided that it would be helpful to have a few more pencil options for shading work.This Derwent set is perfect. At first, I figured I would just use a couple of the pencils and buy the entire set merely for the convenience. However, in my most recent piece, I found myself using about 2/3 of the different hardness values during my shading process. I usually just lay down some graphite and use a Q-Tip to spread it around each area, with the downside being the lack of precision afforded by this method. With the harder pencils, though, I could merely use the pencil to shade thoroughly, allowing me to get into tight corners without making things too dark. This is probably just basic drawing practice, but for me it was a new approach and one made possible by this set.The Derwent pencils are very high quality and this set includes all hardness values from 9H to 9B; there are a few duplicates as well for the total count of 24 (19 different hardness values). If you need a range of pencils for any kind of pencil art, look no further than this excellent set.I have attached a photo of my most recent piece (a 1969 Camaro), drawn using these pencils, in the product images above. I hope this gives a good idea of the potential of this set.

4.0 out of 5 stars I love Derwent Brand across the board.
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2017
I am almost certain I received the new pencils as it states on the back that it is a new formula and they say Britain instead of England on the pencil. Overall the pencils are wonderful. In some other reviews, there were issues with impurities and scratchiness in the pencils. I have found scratchiness with two of the 24, but sharpening them seemed to eliminate the problem. However, I did take a star off for that issue. I love Derwent products overall, but want to write a fair review. I am new to drawing, but the price on this set of 24 was so low that I knew I would never see it that low again and went ahead and made the purchase. I have a set of Tombows, which has more impurities than these and the leads also break way too easily. However, I have a set of the "Fine Touch" Hobby Lobby pencils that I purchased for just a few bucks, set of 12. I haven't had time to fully compare them, but the Fine Touch are super smooth and lay down really easy. I will update after I've had more time with this set; but so far, Loving it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Crushed tin
Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2020
The pencils draw smooth and are flawless... and luckily intact. I ordered these pencils as a part of my new hobby of drawing during the COVID-19 crisis. Shipping was very quick, but on opening the soft packaging the tin container was crushed as seen in photos. Otherwise each of the pencils were still intact and all of them were there. I began using them immediately and they were as expected excellent.
