Derwent's Onyx Graphite Pencils

This particular art product deserves a mention, it's my best art purchase this year.

Derwent's Onyx Graphite pencils are available in dark and medium leads. I couldn't wait to try them out, particularly for sketching. I prefer to sketch in soft B leads, but found that I was forever sharpening them down to a stump of a pencil before I knew it.

The Onyx Graphite has out-performed the 8 and 9 Bs. It sharpens to a nice point and doesn't wear down as quickly.

It's now my prefered pencil for sketching and here's a few drawings I have done using purely the Onyx Graphite.
