Graphite Pencil Faber-Castell 114413 12 pcs

The Faber-Castell 114413 graphite pencil set contains 12 pencils engineered for precise writing, sketching and shading. Each pencil is equipped with a smooth graphite core that delivers consistent line quality and predictable tonal gradation. The pencils have an ergonomic, hexagonal barrel that helps reduce rolling and improves grip during extended use. This set is presented without additional accessories and focuses on reliable performance for everyday drawing, drafting and general handwriting tasks.

Advantages

The graphite cores offer uniform laydown and controllable darkness, enabling clean lines and gradual shading. The ergonomic barrel shape supports comfortable handling and reduces hand fatigue. Durable leads resist breakage under normal pressure and sharpen evenly for a consistent point. The pencils are suitable for both fine detail work and broader strokes thanks to their balanced hardness.

Suitable for

• Sketching and life drawing
• Technical drafting and preliminary layouts
• Schoolwork and note taking
• Shading and tonal studies

• Barrel: ergonomically shaped hexagonal wood casing
• Intended use: writing, sketching, drafting, shading

How to use

Select a pencil from the set according to the desired line darkness and shading. Sharpen with a standard pencil sharpener to obtain a fine or blunt point depending on the task. Apply varied pressure to create lighter or darker strokes; use cross-hatching and layering for tonal depth. For technical drawings, maintain a consistent pencil angle and use a ruler or template where required. Store the pencils horizontally or in a pencil case to protect the points and preserve the barrel finish.

Recommendations

Use softer pressure and gradual layering for smooth shading. Replace or resharpen the point frequently when working on detailed areas to maintain precision. Keep the pencils dry and avoid exposure to extreme heat to preserve wood casing and lead integrity.
