I recommend this pencils

this set of sketching pencils is amazing. I bought this set for my art class and using this set made my job alot easier when drawing. especially doing basic stuff like shading and adjusting the lighting based on your preference using the set. And the lead doesn’t break easily as normal school pencils do, so they last much longer. And the eraser also works really well erasing. Will Buy Again!
