I know many of you are interested in drawing and I wanted to tell you about these awesome pencils I have used from Mars Lumograph brand. If you’re looking for good pencils for art classes or just drawing on your own time, these are perfect.

While I was in college, we were required to get certain art materials for classes. I was taking a drawing class and needed some really good pencils. Most of my life up to that point had been spent using cheap or plain old HB pencils to draw with. I had never really tried nicer ones. As I searched for the perfect pencils that were also affordable for class I came across these,

What I really enjoyed about these pencils was the fact that they had different sizes and textures for different uses and lines. They ranged from a very light and hard lead to a very soft and dark lead. I soon found out how useful these variations were.

What’s the benefit?

When drawing, you sometimes really need just the right kind of graphite in your pencil such as very soft for blending and shading or very hard for details and solid lines.. It benefits your art and yourself to learn to use some of the many art tools out there. And when they are of lasting quality, you’ll be able to enjoy them for years. I’m pretty sure these pencils lasted me 6 to 7 years before they were really worn down. Of course, that all depends on how much you use them too.

Drawing with these pencils, I was able to render shades and lines to specifically meet the needs of my subject matter. I discovered how much I had been missing by using a regular HB pencil for so long. Don’t get me wrong, HB pencils are great to sketch with, but for expanding beyond the regular pencil these little guys are one of the best. Plus, they’re really affordable! Who doesn’t like that?

If you’re in need of good drawing pencils try these, I guarantee they’ll be perfect to create so many beautiful things!
