Description

This Faber-Castell 9000 Black Lead Pencil HB-8B Set brings you six of these classic pencils in assorted lead hardnesses.

  • With its smooth, pure, fine-ground graphite, the 9000 has been a favourite for drawing and sketching since 1905, the familiarity of its hexagonal barrel of forest green and the consistently smooth laydown it gives proof that some things will never go out of style.
  • This Faber-Castell 9000 Black Lead Pencil HB-8B Set contains a range of SV-bonded, breakage-resistant leads in HB, B, 2B, 4B, 6B, 8B, housed in a metal tin.

Also available as:

Faber-Castell 9000 Individual Pencils

Faber-Castell 9000 Art Set of 12

Faber-Castell Cass Exclusive set of 25

Q&A (2)
Q What pencil grade do I need?
A

Graphite pencils come in various weights and are graded from H (Hard) to B (Black). H pencils will tend to be used by architects, graphic designers and artists who illustrate fine details. The hardness of the graphite allows the pencil to make precise markings with little smudging. B pencils will tend to be used by artists for sketching. The soft lead is easily blend able and can be used to create shading and achieve tonal effects. Soft graphite is easy to smudge which is often used as an effect when drawing.

Q Are pencils graded universally?
A

All graphite pencils are graded from H (Hard) to B (Black). However, these grades are not strictly universal. For example, some brands may use a softer graphite during their manufacturing process than others. However, these differences are slight and the choice between which brands to buy will mostly come down to personal preference.
