Since 1795, Conté à Paris has equipped artists with pencils that balance history and performance. From velvety blacks to warm earth tones, this range lets you choose the right tool for your line, value, and surface—whether you’re sketching quick studies or crafting finished work.
These sketching and drawing pencils receive mixed feedback. Customers praised the pastels, saying "these are great, especially in the pencil format" and that they "work great." However, multiple shoppers reported significant quality issues with pencils breaking when sharpened, with the core broken throughout the length - a recurring problem over 15 years.

Conte Sketching Pencil
Well, I thought I was just bad at sharpening this pencil ... the instructor tried and found it to be broken the entire length: a big disappointment!

conte sketch pencils
I have been buying these for 15 years and need the quality of pencil specific to my drawing but for 15 years same problem the conte when sharpened breaks usually 1 inch from the top maybe becomes solid 2 1/2 inch later.
Yes l use a knive for sharpening and sandpaper. 3HB is the worst but my favourite.
