How to use

Apply varied pressure to achieve tonal variation and use blending tools or stumps for smooth transitions. Store pencils in the tin to protect leads when not in use.

Recommendations

For extended life of the leads, sharpen with a quality sharpener and avoid dropping pencils. Use fixative spray for finished graphite work to reduce smudging if the artwork will be handled or displayed.
