Caran d'Ache Sketcher Non-Photo Blue 2 Pc Blister Card (903.302 )

These are really good pencils, definitely a must have when drawing, especially if you're planning on drawing comics, easy to erase and ink over.

I think my search is finally over! As a cartoonist, I’ve tried an abundance of non-photo, or non-repro blue pencils over the past 30 years, and some are quite good. However, inevitably they all have one or two issues, such as being too light, too dark, too hard, or too soft, difficult to erase, not actually non-repro, etc etc. Like the Staedtler 2mm blue leads, which are nice, but way too dark. The Caran d’Ache non-photo blue Sketcher is my Goldilocks pencil… just right! I’m so glad I finally discovered it! The packaging says it’s “dry and soft,” which is an odd description, but as I quickly found out, also exactly right. It has just enough resistance on the paper, almost chalk-like, and there is no need to dig in hard for it to show up, as is the case with so many other pencils, like the Prismacolor Col-Erase. I’m a nerd about textures and the sound of my drawing implements on paper, and this checks all the marks for my picky brain. I’ve been using this pencil on Strathmore 500 series paper (also an amazing product!), and the combination of these two tools is wicked good! If you like a sharp tip however, as I do, you’ll find that you need to sharpen it fairly frequently, but from what I can tell, this is the only drawback. It does not seem to break easily at all. The opposite-tip eraser is also pretty decent, and leaves no ugly marks on the paper. All in all a fantastic pencil, especially for us cartoonists! Give it a try! PS: The color is not as dark as it comes out in the video.

From now on, my go to sketch pencil. I was tired of regular pencils leaving gray smudges on the paper when it was time to erase the guide lines. Never tried non photo erase pencils but I finally gave it a go. These pencils are the best thing for an illustrator. The color is light so it is basically invisible once it comes time to ink. No more pencil smudges. As far as the brand itself, it's great. It draws like a regular pencil with ease. It also erases well. For those who are complaining that they don't erase, just don't go too hard with them, they are not meant to shade in or color anything. They are meant to be used lightly as a base for your final drawing which should be another medium like ink or graphite.

These are amazing sketching pencils. I’ve looked everywhere for a blue pencil like this.

I'm beginning to take my artwork to the next level so I thought purchasing some non-photo blue lead pencils would help me out while I sketch my designs, and it actually has helped me out a lot. Previously I just used a very very soft lead pencil for my outline and then a harder lead pencil/mechanical pencil to clean up the lines and erase the softer lead. With the blue lead pencils I'm able to completely sketch out my idea/design, play around with the sketch and once I'm happy with what I've drawn I can go in with my inking pens to complete the drawing and even take the sketch into Photoshop and easily clean up the drawing. I would definitely recommend these pencils to anyone wishing to turn their game up to an 11. My only issue is that the blue lead seems fairly soft which isn't a huge issue but I have to at least add one con in order for this to be a real review.

Great for base sketching

This is my favorite non-photo blue pencil! Because it is a softer pencil, you are able to create different weights in your line and build up your sketch naturally. Many other non-photo blue pencils are so hard that all of your lines look the same no matter how hard you press. You wind up having to gouge your paper to make your lines distinct. But these are the best! I wish they sold them in bulk! Also unlike other pencils, the eraser is not just for show - its actually a great!

The blue color is light and works well when sketching subjects to be painted. It can be lifted easily for watercolor.

Muy bien. El lápiz es muy cremoso, por lo que no es necesario apretar mucho. Se maneja con facilidad, y el color está muy bien porque no es demasiado fuerte. Me parece ideal para bocetos. Lo he vuelto a comprar por segunda vez porque quedé muy contenta. Con respecto al escaneado, yo no lo he utilizado porque no me hace falta, así que, no se cómo funcionará.

Bu ürün poyasada görebileceğiniz en iyi marka non-photo blue pen yani tarayicida görünmeyen kalem çizgi romanla ilgilenenler bilir bu kalemi grayscale özelliklerle taratirsaniz mavileri yokedebilirsiniz. Fiyatı normalde 80 civarındaydi Amazon'un bize güzel kiyaklarindan.

Je vous conseille cela, ayant déjà acheté plusieurs fois. c'est pratique lors des scanners en noir et blanc car on ne le voit pas et c'est utile pour préparer notre dessin

Bijzonder goede potloden om eerste basisschetsen te maken om dan verder uit te tekenen.

Il prodotto è eccellente. Permette di abbozzare qualsiasi cosa ed è facilmente cancellabile nel mentre. Una volta completato il proprio lavoro, se digitalizzato non necessita di alcun intervento: la matita non fotografica non lascia, ovviamente, un tratto che viene catturato. Ideale per sketch, bozze, esercitazioni. Forse unica pecca, rimane difficile temperarla alla perfezione, ma il rapporto qualità-prezzo è ottimo.
