Graphite Pencil Set KOH-I-NOOR 1582 — Range 6B–6H, 12 pieces (MPN 220995)

KOH-I-NOOR Graphite Pencil Set 1582 contains twelve pencils that span the full traditional hardness scale from 6B to 6H, providing a wide tonal range for drawing, sketching and technical drafting. The set enables artists and designers to produce deep, soft shading with the softer grades and precise, fine lines with the harder grades, making it a versatile tool for studio work, field sketches and classroom exercises.

Advantages

The pencils offer consistent core quality and reliable hardness progression across grades, ensuring predictable tonal steps between adjacent pencils. Cores are formulated to balance darkness and strength, reducing breakage during sharpening and allowing for smooth application on paper. The wooden casings are uniformly shaped for comfortable grip and control during extended use.

Suitable for

• Graphite drawing and tonal studies
• Sketching, quick studies and fieldwork
• Technical drawing and precision line work
• Art classes, design exercises and portfolio preparation

Key specifications

• Set composition: 12 pencils covering grades from 6B to 6H
• Hardness range: soft (6B) to hard (6H)
• Core type: graphite formulated for smooth laydown and reduced breakage
• Wood casing: standard hexagonal shape for stable grip
• Intended use: drawing, sketching, drafting

How to use

Select pencil grades according to the required tonal value or line quality: use softer grades (B range) for dark tones and shading, medium grades for general sketching, and harder grades (H range) for fine lines and technical details. Sharpen to a suitable point for the task; a blunt point provides broader strokes while a fine point delivers precision. Apply varying pressure and layering to achieve gradients and texture, and use an eraser or blending tool to refine highlights and transitions.

Usage recommendations

Store pencils horizontally and sharpen with a quality sharpener to maintain consistent point quality. Combine multiple grades within the set to achieve controlled tonal transitions; for archival work, use appropriate paper and fixative as needed.
