## Summary description

Astra Artea sketching pencil set with twelve 2B pencils (MPN 333265, EAN 5901137125213). Designed for drawing and shading, the 2B lead provides medium-soft graphite suitable for sketching, tonal work and illustrations. Pack of 12 pencils is practical for students, hobby artists and classrooms, offering consistent line quality and easy blending.

## Long description

Astra Artea 2B pencil set for sketching contains twelve identical graphite pencils designed to support drawing, shading and tonal work. Each pencil uses a 2B grade lead that balances softness for smooth dark strokes with enough firmness for controlled lines. The uniform set simplifies material management for students, hobby artists and classroom use, providing consistent line quality across multiple pencils.
Advantages
The 2B lead delivers medium-soft graphite suitable for a range of sketching techniques, from quick studies to more developed illustrations. Having twelve matching pencils in one pack reduces the need for frequent sharpening of a single pencil and ensures replacement pencils are immediately available during extended sessions. The balanced lead hardness supports easy blending and layering while maintaining good point durability for precise detail work.
Suitable for
Sketching and figure drawing
Shading and tonal studies
Preliminary illustrations and concept sketches
Art classes, workshops and student use
Key specifications
Lead grade: 2B (medium-soft graphite)
Quantity: 12 pencils per pack
Intended use: drawing, sketching and shading
Finish: lacquered wooden barrel for comfortable grip
How to use
Select a pencil from the pack and sharpen to the desired point for the task: a sharper point for fine lines and detailed work, or a blunter tip for broader shading and softer marks. Work on appropriate paper for graphite media and use light, layered strokes to build tone gradually. For blending, employ a paper stump, tissue or finger with gentle pressure to avoid overworking the surface. Replace pencils from the pack as they wear to keep consistent line quality throughout a session.
Usage recommendations
Store pencils horizontally or in a pencil case to prevent breakage. Use a quality sharpener suited for graphite pencils to maintain point integrity. Combine 2B pencils with harder or softer grades if a wider tonal range is required for drawings.
