Acmeliae 8000 HB Drawing Pencil houses a 3.5mm graphite core within a 7mm poplar wood barrel. Hexagonal geometry prevents rolling on flat surfaces. During high humidity, the matte silver finish provides necessary friction for controlled lines.
Key Features
- Hexagonal Barrel Geometry: 7mm diameter prevents rolling on slanted or flat surfaces. Stops the pencil from falling in high-traffic work environments.
- 3.5mm Graphite Lead: High-density core reduces breakage under heavy hand pressure. Produces consistent lines for technical drafting and sketching.
- Softened Poplar Wood: Lightweight casing sharpens quickly with standard steel blades. Prevents wood splintering during repetitive manual sharpening tasks.
- EN71/REACH Standard: Non-toxic materials meet international EN71 and REACH safety requirements. Safe for students and professional artists.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Acmeliae HB pencil good for sketching?
The 3.5mm HB lead provides medium hardness for light shading and outlines. It produces clean lines without the heavy smudging of softer grades.
What is the difference between HB and 2B pencils?
HB lead contains more clay and less graphite than 2B. This results in a lighter mark and better point retention.
