Pencil Staedtler Mars Lumograph 100

The Staedtler Mars Lumograph 100 is a high-quality drawing pencil set designed for accurate lines and a wide variety of grey tones. The pencils feature a special lead formulation that produces a subtle metallic lustre and consistent results across graded hardnesses. Wood is sourced from PEFC-certified sustainably managed forests and the set provides reliable performance for writing, sketching and professional graphic applications.

Advantages

Special lead formulation and super-bonded cores increase break-resistance while maintaining smooth laydown and clear line reproduction. Available in finely graded degrees across a wide range from 12B to 10H, the set covers soft to hard hardnesses for shading, hatching and precise detail. Environmentally sourced PEFC-certified wood and recommended sharpeners ensure consistent sharpening and longevity of the pencils.

How to use

Select the desired hardness for the task: softer grades (B range) for rich shading and tonal work, harder grades (H range) for fine lines and technical details. Sharpen with a tub sharpener (recommended: Staedtler tub sharpener 511 001) or a metal sharpener (510 10) for optimal point quality. Use on paper or matt drawing film and vary pressure to control tone and line density.

Usage recommendations

Store pencils horizontally or in a pencil case to avoid breakage; use the appropriate hardness for each stage of your work and choose the recommended sharpener to maintain consistent points and reduce lead crumble.
