Cretacolor leads are available in three different tones, charcoal, and graphite. While they are a traditional drawing medium, Cretacolor's 5.6mm leads offer potent coloration. The leads come pre-sharpened, ready to help you execute superfine line work. For broad strokes or to produce subtle shading, simply roll the nib to its slanted side. We love to pair these with charcoal and pastels to add texture and line variance.
 
The leads are 5.6 mm in diameter and 120 mm in length. They are designed to fit into the Cretacolor Lead Holder.
