Viarco #250 Drawing Pencils, Box of 12
VIARCO #250 CLASSIC DRAWING PENCIL
Made in Portugal from genuine cedar, the Viarco #250 Drawing Pencil is an excellent all-purpose choice for drawing, sketching, and writing. Attractively coated in red lacquer, the #250 looks nicer than other pencils at the same price — and unlike many affordable pencils, this one is made in a small European factory, not outsourced to the lowest bidder.
Viarco makes the #250 in the three most popular lead grades worldwide: H, HB, and B. The H is great for light, erasable lines for preliminary sketching. It's also a nice choice for small handwriting and mathematics. The HB (also called a #2) works for pretty much everything, from loose sketching to precise design. And the B is softer than a standard HB, allowing for darker and more expressive lines.
Set of twelve in a simple paper box. Choose your lead grade from the product menu; all 12 pencils will be the same grade. Factory-sharpened for your convenience — just open the box and start drawing.
