This LYRA Rembrandt Carbon H artist drawing pencil bridges the gap between charcoal and graphite. It is a highly pigmented, premium blend of premium charcoal powder and graphite, bound together with precise amounts of oils and waxes.
With a hardness grade of H, this pencil offers a cleaner, more precise line than softer carbon grades, while maintaining deep tonal value. The LYRA Rembrandt Carbon H artist drawing pencil features a thick, break-resistant 5 mm core, with a round barrel crafted from unlacquered, PEFC-certified sustainable cedarwood.
Unlike traditional graphite - which can leave a reflective sheen - the carbon content in this pencil provides a rich, semi-matt black laydown with high UV resistance. The inclusion of oil and wax makes the core harder and more cohesive than pure charcoal. This gives artists ultimate control for creating fine, exact contours without excessive smudging.
While optimal on ultra-fine or textured paper, the LYRA Rembrandt Carbon H artist drawing pencil also adheres beautifully to cardboard, plastic, wood, and textiles. It can be partially smudged or lifted using a standard kneadable/putty rubber eraser, depending on the pressure applied to the stroke.
