My favorites, due to the look, the feel, the tonal value, the smoothness of application, the luxury, is the Blackwing line of pencils from Cal Cedar. The Blackwing is the darkest, softest of them all, which I really love. It's great for drawing and writing, although you will have to sharpen more often than the others due to its softer lead. On the other end is the Blackwing 602 (Palomino, not Eberhard Faber). It is firmer than the Blackwing, so a slightly less tonal darkness, but still a very smooth and delightful pencil to use. Again, it looks great, feels great, and is great. It is more for writing than drawing. Right in the middle is this Blackwing Pearl, and I have crowned it my favorite overall of the Blackwings. Why? Because it is dark enough (darker than the 602), not as dark as the Blackwing (but very close enough), and of course just as smooth as them all, but requires a little less frequent sharpening than the Blackwing when writing. Being in the middle, it is good for drawing or writing. The Pearl paint job is fantastic. You can see it isn't just white, it is really 'pearl'. Cool. And the gold ferrule with black eraser is a good match for this pencil. You just feel really good using this. Review: Blackwing for drawing - My review is more geared to those people interested in using these for drawing. I agree with those who find these to be extremely smooth. I have found the price of these not to be too far off from other pencil brands made and used for drawing. For example, I bought a pack of Derwent Graphics that were more than $2 per pencil and not near the smoothness of these pencils. Faber Castell 9000 are about the same price as the Blackwings when not on sale. Staedtlers are about half the price, and are decent but nearly as smooth. Hi Uni is a little less expensive and on par in smoothness with the 602, Pearl, and Blackwing. I use both the Hi Uni and Blackwings for my drawings. I started drawing with the Blackings, and use the 602 as a 2B, Pearl - 3B and Blackwing - 4B. Later, I bought and used the Hi Uni's 2H, HB, 6B, and 10B. (I only recently became aware of the Palomino Mixed grade pencils, which I would like to try some time) If I must use only one pencil for a sketch or drawing then I would likely choose the 602. If I'm given a choice of 2 it would be the 602 and the Blackwing. Note: I find that the Pearl is very close in blackness to the 602 and I have a hard time discerning the difference. In the attached image, I used all three Blackwings: 602, Pearl, and Blackwing. I must give props to the seller, Palomino. When I received my shipment, there were 2 pencils where the eraser ferrell was glued to the eraser bracket making the removal of the eraser nearly impossible. They responded immediately to my concern and promptly sent me replacements + 2 more for good measure. Now that's great service and I couldn't be happier. Thank you Palomino. ## Features - BALANCED AND SMOOTH - The Pearl's balanced Japanese graphite sits between the soft Matte and firm 602: dark enough for expressive lines, firm enough to hold a point through long journaling or illustration sessions. - A LEGEND SINCE THE 1930s - Loved by award-winning creators throughout history.

Which pencil should I start with?** A: Most people start with the Pearl - it sits between the soft Matte and the firm 602. To try all four cores before committing to a dozen, the Pencil Essentials Set includes one of each. **Q: What do soft, firm, balanced and extra-firm actually mean?** A: They describe how much graphite the pencil lays down and how long it holds a point. Softer cores make darker lines and need sharpening more often. Firmer cores make finer lines and last longer between sharpenings. **Q: Will Blackwing pencils fit a standard sharpener?** A: Yes. The barrel is a standard pencil diameter. The Blackwing One-Step and Two-Step sharpeners are shaped to produce the long, curved point these pencils are designed around. **Q: Why is the eraser rectangular instead of round?** A: The flat eraser slides out of the ferrule so you can extend it as it wears, then replace it when it is gone. It has been Blackwing's signature since the 1930s. **Q: What is the Blackwing Foundation?** A: A portion of every purchase funds the Blackwing Foundation, which supports arts and music education in public schools. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Favorite of the Blackwings *by R***E on September 23, 2015* I have quite the pencil collection.

While they are certainly pricier, they are worth it. I’ve had my original set for years and I still have 6 pencils I haven’t even touched yet. I knew these would be my go tos for years to come so I bought another set. Different style, but same lead quality as the previous ones I have with the black eraser. Reasons why I live these: 1 lead does not break easily in any sharpener. I only had the lead break once and that was because I really screwed up the angle of the blade to the pencil and was really rough with it. I have been able to sharpen these in electric, Long point, and metal sharpeners along with an X-Acto knife 2. They feel good to hold. Like seriously I feel my brain and hand are more in sync with these pencils and they just help with the work flow of my drawing getting it from my mind to the paper. Easy to hold and control the pressure. Not to mention the way the eraser end is made, it still allowed me to draw with a semi awkward grip even when it was a literal stub (ie no more pencil left and just the pointed part). This allowed me to use it until the last possible moment 3. The lead glides so nickels on all paper types. I’ve drawn in Bristol and papers with tougher textures and the pencil glides so well but still providing enough friction for control. A great all rounder based on the pressure you use allowing you to lightly doodle to drawing darker outlines to even basic shading. All with one pencil. Makes it great as a traveling tool when you want to practice or get tough ideas out. 4. It erases pretty cleanly. The erasers work reasonably well given not as well as my kneadable or vinyl erasers, but for use with just this pencil, they get the job done. The shake of the eraser allows for more control in the size of the area you want to erase and you don’t need to use a lot of pressure. Not to mention you can pull it out and extend the eraser when you have rubbed it down too much. Though depending on how much you erase, they don’t feel they will last the full life if the pencil itself. ## Frequently Bought Together - Blackwing Pearl Pencils - 12 Count, Incense-cedar, Premium Japanese Graphite, Pearlescent White, Balanced Lead, Great for Journaling and Writing - Blackwing One-Step Long Point Sharpener, German Steel Blade, Machined Aluminum, Compact Design, Black - Blackwing Two-Step Long Point Pencil Sharpener, White Color, German Steel Blades, Pack of 1 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ma/products/3942076-pearl-pencils-balanced-japanese-graphite-white-12-count](https://www.desertcart.ma/products/3942076-pearl-pencils-balanced-japanese-graphite-white-12-count) --- *Product available on Desertcart Morocco* *Store origin: MA* *Last updated: 2026-10-09*
