My favorite graphite pencil for sketching. It can easily be used on point or from the side and for me, this flexibility is great. They are slightly more fragile than a wood wrapped pencil and therefore, require a bit more care in use and storage. Also, I use less pressure when sharpening and I use a hand sharpener as opposed to electric.
The colored ones are also excellent.

I am new to the art of sketching and read reviews prior to its purchase. I am so very glad I did buy this pencil. Very soft, glides across the paper and it is durable and long lasting. Great product.

I've tried many different brands of pencils but these are by far my favorite. They draw and sharpen well, and I prefer woodless pencils to standard. Great for sketching.

New to this item, but thus far it has been superb at putting down value and sketching. As the entire shaped 'point' is graphite, you can get those nice wide bands/lines of value. I've only used the 2B and compared to others, I find this a bit harder (lays down a bit lighter than most 2Bs), and it literally sharpens 'harder' meaning you'd have to work at over sharpening it unlike most other pencils. As well, the pencil itself feels substantial, which I like, and I do imagine it will provide a lot of use. Overall, I believe this will be a useful pencil for gesture work, sketching, and laying value. I plan on buying some softer ones and seeing how they work.

After testing a large variety of pencils and wood less pencils, I have settled on this one. Once sharpened it is capable of producing super crispy lines, typically lasting longer than other brands and more importantly making super rich markings. The quality of the graphite is unlike any other.

I love these pencils for sketching in my portrait drawing group and also for travel.
You can sharpen them to a fine point and they don't break or leave a mess of wood shavings They are great for putting in broader areas with the side of the point and since they are solid graphite, they last for a long time.
They can make your hands a little messy but really not enough to worry about.

I'm a first time user. I've taken drawing and other art classes, but this is the first time a Woodless Graphite Pencil was recommended.

I sharpened it with a hand sharpener. Then, curious, I tried using the debris/filings to smudge. Worked great. Later, I learned that charcoal won't work over graphic. Hmmm
