Therefore, it is artists' or illustrators' favorite. Ideal pencils for all technical, artistic applications and writing. Ideal as gifts for friends, father, mother, etc. Faber Castell originates from Germany but there are many manufacturing plants in the world which mainly manufacture writing instruments.

The pressure on the pencils are fantastic as they make a nice smooth line and blend well

For serious enthusiasts of graphite pencil drawing, purchase of a reputed brand of pencil is a must, and Faber Castell is an excellent value. I was using older no-name pencils (to avoid throwing them out) but they were of "grade school" quality, not artist quality. I discovered that they were scratchy and gritty on artist drawing paper, potentially ruining drawings, I ended up throwing them out in favour of the FB's.

Really excellent graphite pencils. I can feel the difference compared to all the other graphite pencils I’ve used while growing up. The graphite is very easy to work with. Shades in really well. The lead is strong but smooth. No scratching. I was thinking of buying graphite pencils from other brands but now I don’tsee any need for that since faber Castell is so excellent. Thanks Amazon.caUpdate: it’s a pleasure to see that the lead doesn’t break unlike Castle arts. At least I can use these pencils. I rather spend more money and get a good quality pencils like faber Castell. Outstanding quality.

Great set of pencils for the price, stark differences between them, and who doesn't need another sharpener?

I've just taken up drawing, and I found these when I was looking for a basic starter set. So far, they've been doing a good job. The included sharpener produces a very fine point. Both erasers work well. One of the pencils (I forget which one) had the point broken off in transit, but it sharpened up OK.My set did not come with a case (some reviewers apparently did get one), but the description didn't list it so I wasn't expecting it.

Faber Castel never disappoints!I was never big on using graphite. I just preferred to use ink or colored pencil, so I didn't have many quality graphite pencils. I've been using Koh-I-Noors for a while, but I needed a larger variety of hardnesses, and I LOVE THESE!This is a perfect set for my needs as an adult coloring page artist. They are super-smooth, with no scratchy bits in the cores, sharpen easily and still hold an edge. I love blending the softer pencils with the harder ones, even on the super-smooth vellum I use daily, and the green barrels are easy to see at a glance among all the black pens scattered over my desk. And they have a very nice hard plastic storage case that travels well.I will buy these again and again!
