Lyra Graphite Stick 9b

It’s good to have found this graphite stick as there aren’t that many 9B sticks available. It’s grinds down to graphite powder really well

For my new drawing, I needed a really dark graphite pencil with the same soft consistency of charcoal. This would allow me to create soft and gradual transitions. The graphite stick itself is quite hard which is great for sharp dark lines. However, if you want gradual background transitions like in my drawing, I would sand down the stick using mesh sanding paper and use a cotton ball in circular motions for the background.Overall, I paid about £5 for one stick which is relatively good considering it’s size, thickness and potential. If you’re a graphite based artist, this is a must!I will also mention that I had a problem with my order and customer service sorted it all out for me right away.Thank you for reading my how’s the review, I hope you found it helpful! :)

It basically does what it says on the tin! It is a graphite stick made for sketching. And that's what it does. It performs beautifully and I will continue to use this. I will purchase from this seller again in the future when I run out.-Miss M.

Have used this company for quite a few artist materials. Always been very pleased.

I should point out that I bought this as a piece of graphite rather than a drawing or writing implement. It is indeed a stick of graphite! End of story. I didn't use it for this purpose but I imagine it would work well to provide a useful conductive track on top of a CPU to change its clock speed etc.

Planning on doing some graphite drawings and wanted some 9b (apparently this is the softest you can get) to add to my collection. Great product goes on smooth, will certainly come in handy
