When do you need a jumbo drawing pencil?
This Mars Lumograph jumbo pencil has been specially developed for intensive drawing work where you need to shade and hatch a lot. With its 6B degree of hardness, you achieve deep, dark lines that are perfect for artistic sketches and technical drawing. The jumbo version gives you more grip and control during long drawing sessions.

Why choose this jumbo variant?
The 5.3 mm thick graphite lead is considerably thicker than standard pencils, so you can colour in large areas more quickly and create shading effects. The hexagonal profile ensures the pencil won't roll off your drawing table and gives you extra grip. Thanks to the blue lacquer coating, you'll recognise this pencil at a glance among your other drawing materials.

What does the 6B degree of hardness mean?
The 6B designation stands for a very soft graphite lead that produces dark, rich lines. This degree of hardness is ideal when you are making expressive drawings or want to create depth through strong contrasts. The lead is break-resistant and firmly bonded, so it doesn't wear down quickly despite its soft composition.

Practical benefits for everyday use
The pencil comes with a protective dip cap that shields the tip during transport and storage. Thanks to the hexagonal profile, the pencil sits securely in your hand and won't accidentally roll off your workspace. The jumbo size makes this pencil especially suitable for artists, designers and anyone who regularly does extensive drawing work.
