XL Graphite Very Soft Blocks, Pack of 4

Derwent XL Graphite Very Soft, code 2302022, is sold here as a pack of 4 blocks of the one grade for deep, dark tonal work.

Derwent makes XL Graphite as a chunky block, 2cm square and 6cm long, and very soft natural graphite is one of its six XL Graphite colours. The graphite is smooth and refined, and water-soluble, so you can add water for splashes and washes. On a damp surface it releases a creamy strip of pigment that can be reworked once dry.

A very soft grade lays down rich darks quickly with the flat face and gives sensitive lines from an edge. Derwent suggests lifting out tone with an eraser for highlights, and four blocks of the same grade let a class or a studio share the darkest tone without opening a full tin.

The full six colour tin is in Derwent, and charcoal alternatives sit in Derwent Charcoal. For lifting out highlights see erasers, and paper blending stumps are in drawing supplies with other sketching tools.
