Woodless Pencils

Round graphite pencil in lacquered envelope with high quality graphite lead in soft grades. Particularly suitable for artistic drawing, especially on large areas where strong marks are required.

This versatile medium is easier to control than its cousin, charcoal, which is messier, more delicate, and often rougher. And it offers a broader range of strokes than its wood-enclosed relative, the pencil.

There are many reasons to prefer one kind of stick over another, but in the end it comes down to the personal choice of each artist, and how the material fits in with how they work.
