When do you need an extra thick drawing pencil?
The STAEDTLER Mars Lumograph jumbo pencil has been specially developed for large sketches and artistic projects where you need to shade many dark areas. With its 5.3 mm thick graphite lead, you can quickly cover large surfaces and create expressive, broad strokes that would take a lot of time with a standard pencil.

Why choose hardness grade 8B?
The 8B hardness grade produces extremely soft, deep black lines that are perfect for dramatic shadows and dark accents in your drawings. This very soft graphite glides effortlessly across the paper and allows you to create rich, velvety black tones without applying much pressure.

Advantages of the break-resistant construction
The core in this pencil breaks less easily than standard graphite leads, even with the soft 8B composition. This means you can keep working without interruptions to sharpen broken tips, which is especially important during intensive drawing sessions when you want to stay in the flow.

Practical details for optimal use
The hexagonal profile of this blue pencil prevents it from rolling off your drawing table and gives you a stable grip while drawing. The included dipping cap protects the tip when you transport the pencil in your drawing case or pencil box. For the best results, use this pencil on textured drawing paper that holds the soft graphite well.
