Available in a comprehensive tonal range of 24 distinct gradations, Derwent Graphic Pencils offer the precision and control professional artists expect. Made in England with the finest Cumberland Valley graphite, they produce smooth, lightfast lines that remove cleanly with an eraser.

The range covers everything from crisp technical work to expressive shading. Harder grades (H–F) feature a 2.2 mm graphite core for precise lines, while softer grades (4B–13B) use a thick 3.5 mm core for smudgy, expressive blending.

Each pencil features a 6.9 mm hexagonal barrel that sharpens neatly to a fine point, resists rolling, and provides lasting comfort in hand. “H” stands for hardness, “B” for blackness, and “F” for fine—a full professional spectrum for every drawing style.
