Pencil set KOH-I-NOOR 12 pcs (grades 8B–2H) in black zip case

KOH-I-NOOR pencil set KOH-I-NOOR 12 pcs (grades 8B–2H) in black zip case includes twelve graphite pencils covering a wide tonal range from very soft 8B to hard 2H. The set is supplied in a compact black zip case that keeps pencils organized and portable. These graphite pencils provide a continuous scale of softness and hardness suitable for sketching, shading, drafting and technical drawing.

Advantages

The set offers a broad selection of pencil grades in one package, allowing smooth transitions between dark, expressive strokes and precise, light lines. Graphite cores deliver consistent laydown and predictable wear for controlled shading and layering. The zip case protects tips and makes transport and storage convenient for studio, classroom or field use.

How to use

Select a pencil grade that matches the required tone and line quality: softer grades (B–8B) for rich, dark shading and expressive marks; medium grades (HB–B) for general sketching and blending; harder grades (H–2H) for fine lines, precise details and technical drafting. Sharpen pencils with a suitable sharpener to maintain a clean edge for detailed work. Alternate grades while working to build midtones and highlights, and use blending tools or an eraser to refine transitions and correct edges.

Usage recommendations

Store pencils horizontally in the zip case to reduce breakage and protect points. For the best results when shading, layer from harder to softer grades to preserve tooth and control contrast. Use a kneaded eraser for delicate highlights and a quality sharpener designed for graphite cores to minimize crumbling.
