Hundred in description should not make you hesitate to buy. - Love love these for drawing on newsprint. All I need is this for block in and one dark pencil for shading. I got confusted by some of the people that think this is not a good 4B pencil because of the hundred in the description. Don't listen. I had very old 4Bs and this is the same same pencil. I needed more of these for block ins. I don't like using 5 different pencils as my art teacher does so I use this to block in, tones, and even do the shadows by pressing darker. Less trouble than having 5 different pencils of different graphite tones. When I really want to do a great job I put shadows in with 6B or 8B. I am not a professional, just love drawing and this is my tool of choice along with a good used (older version) panasonic auto stop pencil sharpener. An older artist told me about it. New ones aren't as good. They are cheap on eBay. If I had to sharpen my pencil as my art teacher suggests with a razor or exacto I wouldn't draw. I break leads right and left doing this. I respect the artists who have the patience. Those long long leads sharpened this way produces beautiful work, but my work is pretty darn good with this sharpener. I have five of these Steadler pencils sharpened and ready to go before I draw. Great product, buy so they don't stop making them. I dont' want to buy a whole set just to get a 4B. Thank you desertcart for carrying 4B in a bulk pack. Review: Velvety smooth writing, cleanly erases - A friend recommended these 4B Mars Lumograph pencils when I commented on how lovely his music scores look. I really enjoy writing with them: unlike many pencils, the lead doesn't keep breaking as I sharpen them; writing feels smooth and velvety; and the graphite is nice and dark, doesn't get all over my hand (I'm left-handed); and easily erases with a white eraser. ## Features - Benefit from the best: Everyone from beginners to a professional will appreciate the quality, smoothness and shading capabilities of these sketching pencils - Class act: This graphite pencil belongs in the classroom as well as part of any artist's sketching pencil tool kit - 12B is our softest lead available. These are ideal shading pencils for drawing - create bold dark sections and strong thick lines. Blends particularly well, too - The perfect sketch pencil for smooth, opaque shadowing, bold strokes and impressionistic soft outlining - Premium break resistance means longer-lasting leads! Only Staedtler's Lumograph art pencils for drawing and shading feature a lead bonded to the shaft so they don't break off while sharpening ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07M8QGMSF | | Best Sellers Rank | #25,414 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #180 in Woodcase Lead Pencils | | Brand | STAEDTLER | | Color | 12B | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,223) | | Date First Available | March 14, 2019 | | Grip Type | Hexagonal | | Ink Color | Gray | | Item Weight | 3.28 ounces | | Item model number | 100-12B VE | | Line Size | 2mm_and_above | | Manufacturer | Staedtler | | Manufacturer Part Number | 100-12B | | Material Type | Wood Graphite | | Number of Items | 12 | | Pencil Lead Degree (Hardness) | 12B | | Point Type | Bold | | Product Dimensions | 7.87 x 1.89 x 0.67 inches | | Size | 1 Count (Pack of 12) | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** STAEDTLER - **Color:** 12B - **Ink Color:** Gray - **Writing Instrument Form:** Graphite Pencil ## Images ![Staedtler Mars Lumograph 12B Graphite Art Drawing Pencil, Super Soft, Break-Resistant Bonded Lead, 12 Pack, 100-12B - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/718x1SRLdrL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ LOVE this pencil.
