🧴 Directions for Use

1. Select a pencil based on desired tone — HB for clean lines, softer grades (2B‑8B) for shading and darker tones.

2. Sharpen carefully with a quality sharpener designed for thicker pencils to maintain even points.

3. Begin sketching or shading with light pressure; layer tones gradually for smooth gradients.

4. For richer shadows, use softer grades (e.g., 6B or 8B) with slightly heavier pressure.

5. Clean up stray marks with a soft eraser to preserve the paper surface and tonal contrasts.

💡 Tips for Best Results

• Use textured or heavyweight drawing paper to maximise graphite adhesion and blending.

• Try various strokes — cross‑hatching, broad shading, and gradient techniques — to explore the full tonal range of each hardness.

• Keep pencils in the tin case when not in use to protect them during transport or storage.

• Pair with blending tools (tortillons, tissue) for softer transitions and richer gradients.

Faber‑Castell 9000 Jumbo Graphite Pencil Set in Tin Case (5‑Pieces) is an essential collection for artists seeking high‑quality graphite performance, versatile shading, and professional‑grade results in every sketch.
