Faber-Castell Castell 9000 Pencil Set - Pack of 12

These are the works I've done using the material. Best pencils for smooth realistic blending. 8B is the highest and it's not as dark as brands like cretacolor, but the precision & quality of material is good. Lead is of fine quality. And 2H, H and F are good in its outline phase.It's not a good choice for rough realism, where you get into deeper combination of highlights and shadows, but it's quite good for smooth realism and neat portrait drawings.Works really well with Hot pressed drawing paper of 200+ GSM and also the 130+ GSM drawing book sheets.Hexagonal shape is of fine grip and good for holding. And it's better to buy a pencil extender along with it. (The one shown in first picture).The packaging was good for the one I received (I've bought it twice), but the product is useless if someone drop it. So make sure the package you receive have enough bubble wrap or other essential packaging means.There are lots of pencil sets in the market, but this one has a good metal box and better quality.Not to be confused with Faber Castell Black matte, that is available at around ₹60 for 6 pencils.And if you want a video review on the product, check out instagram & youtube channel - iAmaljith.

This pencils is very good for sketch and I had not used any premium pencil like this and it's softness is also good and we can draw realistic sketches but while sharping there is so hardness at the tip of pencil I it's tip is breaking some time but it's good pencil and I liked it's so much it's my favorite pencil ✍️

I like this pencils. Its softness and darkness was something new to me. This is my first realistic portrait. And this pencils helped me a lot. The 7b and 8b pencils are very soft and dark. And hb pencil helps a lot in smoothing rough texture. And this pencil also erases well. Overall I like this pencils.

These pencils are top class.. Do not use them on normal A4 sheet.. They are also for professional use.. So use them with the proper drawing Materials.. The results will be outstanding. Do follow my Insta art page @g3_artss.. If you are a beginner go for Fabercastell black matt 70₹ pencils or Artline pencils.. They are top notch.. If you want to explore then try this pencils..

This pencils deserves 5 star. The wood quality is very nice and the darkness of pencils are pretty good

I tried this pencil. I think this pencil is super smooth and great for skin texture.

इसमें कोई संशय नहीं कि यह वस्तु (पेंसिल सेट) अति उत्तम है किन्तु इसकी कीमत हम जैसों के लिए भारी होता है सर जी, इसलिए आप से अनुरोध है कि यदि संभव हो सके तो कृपया इसका मूल्य कम करें जी🙏धन्यवाद

Ive throughly enjoyed drawing with these after not using pencil in a while, great quality for price paid

Très bon crayons

This review is coming from having finished the last of these pencils and am now currently ordering my next set. These were a treat to use. They're not the best pencil I've used (that goes to the Uni Mitsubishi pencils) but the best pencil I've ever used was only darker and smoother than these pencils by just a little margin. I consider this, like most artistic-grade graphite to be very comparable. It's just that the Uni Mitsubishi pencils come out on top just barely. These pencils lay down graphite as well as a lot of the other artistic-grade pencils. It's also very smooth, almost wax-like. I never feel like the pencils scratch some of the more delicate papers I use.However, this is set apart from other pencils because of its break resistance. I don't know why, but if I apply a lot of pressure (which you shouldn't because you can always just use a darker pencil to lay down darker tones), it doesn't break nearly as much as other pencils.I actually sharpen my pencils with a retractable knife and a sanding pad. It can be easy to accidentally cut into the graphite if you carve too hard. However, I've never once accidentally cut into the graphite because of how soft the wood is to cut. It makes sure that I don't use too much pressure when I'm lobbing off some of the wood.Overall, this is a very affordable set that's perfect for sketching and shading.
