## Questions & Answers

**Q: What’s the difference between a ‘drawing’ pencil and a ‘sketching’ pencil - are they both graphite?**
A: Yes, they are both graphite. ‘Drawing’ pencils are at the harder end of the scale (H), the higher the H number the harder the graphite and the lighter the tone it will create. ‘Sketching’ pencils are softer (B) and make darker, richer tones.

**Q: How long are these pencils?**
A: They are the standard 19cm in length, until sharpened of course.

**Q: Does this set come with a Tutorial and Guide Book?**
A: A 5-stage detailed tutorial is included with all sets, but the Guide Book is only available with our 40, 60 and 100 piece Drawing Sets.

**Q: Does this set include sepia and sanguine pencils?**
A: No, sepia and sanguine pencils are only included in our 40, 60 and 100 piece Drawing & Sketching sets.

**Q: Can the pencils be bought individually?**
A: Unfortunately, we do not sell individual pencils at the moment but this is something we are considering for the future.
