Today let's talk about Pencils - specifically Tombow Mono Drawing Pencils - the "Artists" pencil of choice.
The
Tombow MONO Drawing Pencil is a favorite among many artists and illustrators
because of its range of degrees, high point strength and
superior extra-refined, high-density graphite.
High Quality is the standard
for Tombow MONO Drawing Pencils. This is what makes them the preferred pencil
for drawing and drafting. The first thing that you will notice about these
pencils is the black lacquer finish and gold Tombow imprint. This signifies
superiority among all wooden pencils. But everyone knows looks are not
everything and that is why Tombow offers a wide range of
lead grades.
The different grades of lead are directly related to the hardness.
A harder lead will make a lighter mark and a softer lead will create a darker
mark, Tombow lead grades come in a wide degree of ranges including:
4H, 3H, 2H, H, HB, F, B, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B and 6B.
Having options for lead grades is great but what
about the quality? That is one of the most important factors to focus on whenever
choosing a drawing pencil. The quality of lead in Tombow’s MONO drawing pencils
is on an elite level. They have a high point strength which means the
graphite holds a nice sharp point longer. This is perfect for hatching or
crosshatching strokes. Not only are these pencils easy to sharpen;
they produce smear proof lines that help
create crisp, clean drawings. This is also an important feature for left-handed
artist and illustrators. These
drawing pencils also have the added value of slow wear for smooth, dense
writing.

According to Tombow’s Signature Designer, Marie
Browning, “The
high quality graphite found in Tombow’s MONO Drawing Pencils is finely ground
which making applying it super smooth.” This makes it easy to get beautiful
gradations in your shading.
The Tombow Mono Drawing pencils are available in retail open stock displays, blister cards and 12 pack sets.
