Professional Tips
Use the H-range pencils for light construction lines and fine detail, the F and HB for general purpose drawing, and the B-range for rich shadows and expressive mark-making. Sharpen to a chisel point for broad strokes or a needle point for precision. The metal tin protects pencil tips and keeps grades organised for quick selection.
