## Summary description

KOH-I-NOOR PROGRESSO 8B graphite pencils, pack of 12, intended for drawing, sketching and shading. The 8B grade provides a very soft, dark lead suitable for rich tonal work and expressive lines.

## Long description

KOH-I-NOOR PROGRESSO 8B graphite pencils, pack of 12, are professional-grade drawing tools designed for expressive sketching, shading and tonal work. The 8B hardness produces a very soft, dark lead that lays down rich, high-contrast strokes and creates deep blacks and smooth gradients. Supplied as a boxed set of twelve pencils, this pack offers consistent performance and convenient storage for artists, students and designers who need reliable, intensely pigmented graphite.
Advantages
The ultra-soft 8B core provides dense, velvety black tones and broad coverage with minimal pressure, enabling quick tonal blocking and dramatic contrasts. Smooth laydown and break-resistant formulation ensure even marks and reduced sharpening frequency. The uniform diameter and well-balanced weight of each pencil contribute to consistent handling and control across the set. Packaged in a compact box, the pencils are easy to store and transport.
Suitable for
 Figure drawing and portrait shading requiring deep blacks
 Expressive sketching and gesture drawing
 Layered tonal studies and chiaroscuro work
 Mixed-media accents where bold graphite is needed
 Art classes, student practice and professional studio use
Key specifications
 Hardness: 8B (very soft, dark lead)
 Quantity: 12 pencils per box
 Lead type: Solid graphite core with high pigmentation
 Intended use: Drawing, shading, sketching and tonal work
 Packaging: Rigid box for protection and storage
How to use
Select a pencil from the pack and sharpen to a blunt or fine point depending on whether you need broad tones or precise lines. Apply light pressure for subtle midtones and increase pressure for saturated, deep blacks; the 8B lead responds well to smudging and blending tools such as tortillons or fingers to create smooth gradients. For fine details, maintain a well-sharpened tip and consider using a harder grade pencil alongside the 8B for contrast and contour definition. Store the pencils in the box when not in use to protect the cores.
Usage recommendations
Use with quality paper that can withstand soft, heavily worked graphite and blending—medium to heavyweight drawing papers are preferable. Combine with erasers designed for graphite lifting to refine highlights. When transporting, keep the boxed set in a protective sleeve to avoid breakage.
