Tombow MONO 100 Drawing Pencil (6B, 5B, 4B, 3B, 2B, B, HB, F, H, 2H, 3H, 4H) -12 Assorted Pencils

The wood quality is best....Worth for professional artist...smooth shading...it's good but suitable for professional artists only... And premium Packaging...

This is the best pencil I've used . I am also a user of staedtler Marslumograph pencils but those pencils are very light and these pencils are very very dark. After blending these pencils gives a 3d effect while in staedler as we shade the resluts will be like the shading only . But I think the wooden quality should be improved . Overall it's a great pencil. Very happy with these pencils.

I am an artist and a stationery collector. I have several brands of pencils which include: 0. Palomino blacking Pearl and standard 1. Mitsubishi hi uni pencils 2. Caran d ache graphite line 3. Prismacolor premiere 4. Faber Castello 9000 5. Steadtler Mars lumograph 6. Creatacolor graphite line 7. Derwent graphic 8. Tombow mono professional. 9. Kohinoor hardmuth graphite line. Etc The reason I mentioned a list of all these pencils is to let you know that all these pencils I own and have used are top of line products and popular among professional artists worldwide, so I know what good pencils feel like and my review will not be biased or narrow sighted. Jumping to the review: Tombow mono 100 came in a handsome, minimalistic sturdy box. The pencils were kept in a 6 on 6 fashion decking and a plastic tray that separates the two decks and snuggly keeps everything in place. The pencils grades that you get in this set are 6B, 5B, 4B, 3B, 2B, B, HB, F, H, 2H* ( 2), 4H. These pencil hold a good point if sharped with a decent sharpner. The laquer finish on the pencil seems good and the golden ring and the white band are really beautiful to look at. The H grades are a little scratchier as compared to caran d ache or Mitsubishi but better than Derwent graphic. The B grades lay smoother on paper and feel like butter but will need a moderate need of sharpening intermittently. The only setback is the range goes only upto 6B. And I don't feel the 6B is dark enough to compete with the 9B of caran d ache or 10 B of mistshubishi hi uni. But the silver lining to this is the set still delivers a great range of pencils and you can achieve moderate darks with tomobow mono's 6B and for extreme darks you can purchase another carbon or charcoal pencil to get rid of the sheen that pencil with 10B grades cause. So the final verdict is: Apart from the H grades being a little scratchier, The box is handsomely made The pencils look really really beautiful There is a good gradation value in pencils shades The graphite is high quality. I haven't noticed any kind of grit (small piece of clay in graphite) till now. Price range is highly acceptable when quality is compared with other expensive pencils of same graphite quality. And hence if you are planning on buying this pencil set, it's highly recommended. The delivery was on time with no harm done to package and I am looking forward to buy this product again in future for its quality but more for its box and aesthetic appeal of pencils.

Guys......These are the best graphite pencils u will find in the market.These pencils have a buttery smooth experience and are very dark.These pencils are up to par with Steadlar pencils and even maybe outperforming them.Though I would recommend these pencils to both beginners and professionals yet I feel that the price is a bit too high for these pencils

When started using it, need to sharpen first, but that is the issue, using good quality of sharpener too. Pencil’s wood is cheap and doesn’t meet the expectations at all.

Thanks to the seller!

This pencils are very smooth and 6b is very dark I am a artist and these pencils are changed my life i love these pencils and thank u tombow mono 100 to make these pencils.....I love these.....

I feel they are a bit overrated,they are just like grade pencils from fabercastell/apsara worth Rs 45-50. The built ia better ,the leads are soft ,but its kind of over rated acc to me.
