Cretacolor
Cretacolor is an Austrian brand of professional drawing material: graphite pencils, charcoal, pastel, sepia and drawing sets for artists and serious hobbyists.
Drawing in greys
The graphite pencils run from hard 6H to very soft 9B, with charcoal, sepia and white chalk alongside them for highlights. Having the full range to hand is what makes it possible to learn how shadow and volume are actually built up.
Sets for beginners and beyond
The wooden cases hold a considered selection of grades and materials rather than a scattering of colours. That makes one a good present for a teenager who wants to take drawing more seriously than a sketchbook and one pencil allow.
