## Long description

Astra triangular sketching pencils in B grade, pack of 12, are designed for everyday drawing and sketching on paper. Each pencil has a triangular barrel that improves grip and reduces rolling, while the B-grade core delivers medium-soft darkness suited to quick sketches, shading and expressive line work. The set of 12 ensures a consistent supply for students, hobbyists and professionals working on studies, illustrations and concept sketches.
Advantages
The triangular shape of the barrel provides ergonomic handling and better control for prolonged use. B-grade graphite produces clearly visible, medium-dark strokes that are easy to blend and layer for tonal variation. Supplied as a pack of 12, the pencils offer uniform performance across multiple drawing sessions and are convenient to store and transport. The construction balances break resistance with workable softness for routine sketching tasks.
Suitable for
 Quick sketches and thumbnail studies
 Shading and tonal studies on paper
 Line work, contour drawing and illustrations
 Art classes, student practice and design concepting
Key specifications

 Barrel shape: triangular ergonomic design
 Pack quantity: 12 pencils

How to use
Hold the triangular barrel between thumb and first two fingers for improved stability and control. Use the pencil with varied pressure to achieve different tonal values: light pressure for fine lines and softer shading, firmer pressure for darker strokes. Sharpen with a standard pencil sharpener to maintain a precise point for line work or a blunter tip for broader shading. Combine multiple pencils from the pack to maintain consistent marks across an artwork.
Usage recommendations
Store the pencils in a dry place and protect the tips with a case or sleeve to avoid breakage. For smoother blends, use a blending stump or tissue and complement the B grade with harder or softer grades when more precise highlights or deeper darks are required.
