## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Leads and great price
*by R***G on December 25, 2015*

As an illustration major, I was getting frustrated with how often I would sharpen away half of a pencil. I purchased a holder for these "leads" and have loved it ever since. Additionally, I have seen these shipped in poor containers but I received this in a small protected box, which I really appreciate considering how fragile these "leads" can be.Pros: awesome color and system for cretacolor holdersCons: fragile, but no more than any artists pencilConclusion: I love the freedom and speed this adds to my artwork.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product but you need a holder
*by E***Y on July 18, 2025*

Excellent dark black . Ouse it with pastel and it’s great for detail and blends well. I got the holder also which was necessary if you don’t want black fingers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing for pastel paintings
*by I***D on July 31, 2025*

I use this chalk for my pastel paintings. It provides an amazing black shdladez darker than any pastel pencil. Also, it can be easily sharpened with a pencil sharpener or sanding paper. I use it in my Kohl-i-Noor red graphite stylus.
