The emblematic Pierre Noire Sketch Carré is a must-have in any drawing kit.
Recognised by art academies for centuries and used by the greatest artists, such as Picasso, it is made from natural pigments and is perfectly suited to realistic drawings, quick sketches and light and shadow studies.
The leads in Esquisse Sanguine, Bistre, Noir and Blanc Conté à Paris carrés are slightly softer than those in Pencils.
The black colour is extremely intense, indelible, matt and velvety.
There are 3 graduations available: HB, B, 2B. It is the degree of firing that allows the grade to vary. H (Hard) for hardness, B (Bold) for softness. The higher the number, the harder or softer the pencil.
