Cretacolor Mega Nero Pencil – Soft

This range gathers Cretacolor's classic drawing pencils, the wood-cased versions of the traditional media used by artists for centuries. Charcoal pencils in soft, medium and hard give clean, controllable charcoal lines. Nero is Cretacolor's oil-based black, darker and less prone to smudging than charcoal, in five degrees from extra soft to extra hard.

For warm, classical studies there are sanguine pencils in oil and dry versions, and sepia in light and dark, both dry and oil-based. Black chalk and white chalk pencils complete the palette, perfect for three-colour drawing on toned papers. The Mega versions have a thicker lead for bolder marks.

Blister cards offer useful combinations of grades and colours, making it easy to try a new medium before committing to a larger set.
