About the product

Palomino Blackwing Pencils

Minimum shipping requirement is 12 pencils. Blackwing has requested that these pencils only be sold in quantities of twelve.

Initially introduced in the 1930s by Eberhard Faber, the Blackwing pencil has been revived by Palomino once again to offer its firm and smooth performance to writers, animators and everyday users in an iconic and recognizable design. Crafted using the finest materials, from its wood casing to its graphite core, Blackwing pencils truly are in a league of their own.

The Palomino Blackwing Pearl is the latest addition to the Blackwing family of pencils, notebooks, and lifestyle products. It features a pearl white finish, black imprint and eraser, and a balanced and smooth graphite core that is softer than the graphite found in the Palomino Blackwing 62, but firmer than the graphite found in the Palomino Blackwing. Its unique and iconic ferrule allows you to extend and replace its eraser after extensive use and even "hack" your pencil to give it a custom look.

Blackwing’s sustainably harvested, genuine Incense-cedar casing provides superior sharpening performance and the Japanese graphite core features a special formulation of graphite and clay for optimum smoothness. A custom-designed eraser clip holds your eraser in place, letting you extend it as you use the pencil.

In addition, a portion of the sales from all Blackwing products benefit the Blackwing Foundation, which funds and develops arts and music education.

Eraser colours may vary when purchasing online.

Highly praised drawing pencils with soft lead that's excellent for shading and value work. Customers said they're "smooth and clear" with a matte finish. Artists love the quality, with some exclusively using them for drawing. The eraser stays soft and functional. Main concern: frequent stock shortages create urgency.

  • Best pencils ever and great sharpener!
  • The softness of the lead is pleasant to work with on various papers.
  • I am hooked. I love them. I recommend them completely!

I love these pencils

I love these pencils. Unfortunately, they are always out of stock. Due to this, I believe it creates a senseof urgency and scarcity of the product— so artists are panic buying. I know i would if they had more than one in stock.

I like the softer lead. Easier for shading. Eraser stays soft enough to use.

Soft and dark

This is a great little pencil. The matte finish assures no shine and the softness of the lead is pleasant to work with on various papers. I like the eraser shape too.

I am taking a drawing class and it was suggested we buy these pencils to use for “Value” practice. I was sceptical but I went out and got a couple and I am hooked. I love them. I have replaced all my pencils with them not and will continue to use them. I recommend them completely!
