Cretacolor Graphite Stick Large – 6B

Graphite sticks are solid graphite with no wooden casing, letting you draw with the whole length of the stick as well as the tip. They are excellent for laying in large tonal areas quickly, for loose, gestural sketching and for working on a bigger scale than a pencil comfortably allows.

Cretacolor offers its graphite sticks in small and large sizes in 2B, 4B and 6B, so you can choose a harder grade for cleaner lines or a softer one for rich, dark tone. The Chunky Graphite stick is thicker again, ideal for broad sweeps of tone, and comes individually wrapped to keep your hands clean.

Pair them with a holder for Pastel Carré and graphite sticks if you prefer to keep fingers free of graphite, and use a kneadable eraser to lift out highlights.
