## Long description

Astra Artea Box sketching pencil set contains twelve 7B graphite pencils designed for artists, students and anyone working with expressive pencil techniques. Each pencil has a very soft 7B lead that produces deep, dark tones and smooth, blendable strokes. The set is supplied in a compact storage box that protects the pencils and makes them easy to carry to classes, studios or outdoor sketching sessions.
Advantages
The 7B hardness delivers rich, velvety blacks and a wide tonal range for shading, strong contrasts and moody effects. Soft graphite glides across paper, enabling quick coverage and smooth gradients while retaining good erasability for corrections. Twelve identical pencils ensure a consistent drawing feel throughout long sessions and simplify replacement planning. The included box keeps pencils organized, protected from breakage and easy to transport.
Suitable for
Shading and tonal studies
Expressive sketching and figure drawing
Preliminary compositional studies and quick studies
Creating charcoal-like effects and mixed-media work
Key specifications
Quantity: 12 pencils per set
Graphite grade: 7B (very soft, dark)
Intended use: sketching, shading, expressive drawing
Packaging: protective storage box for transport and storage
How to use
Select a suitable paper surface with medium to high tooth for best tone and blending. Hold the pencil at different angles to vary line width and texture: use the tip for fine lines and edge detail, and the side of the lead for broad shading. Blend tones with a blending stump, tissue or finger as needed, and erase with a soft eraser to lift highlights or correct mistakes. Replace pencils from the box as the lead wears down to maintain consistent results.
Usage recommendations
Store pencils horizontally in the box to reduce the risk of lead breakage. Use a sharpener designed for soft graphite to avoid crushing the lead and to produce a precise point when required. For archival work, combine 7B tones with harder grades or fixative sprays according to your project needs.
