Camlin Drawing Sketching Pencil 5B

Add rich, smooth shading to every sketch with the Camlin 5B Drawing Pencil, a soft graphite grade built for artists and students alike.

• Grade 5B: soft, dark graphite for smooth shading and rich tonal range
• Pack of 10 pencils, all 5B grade, so you're always stocked up
• Core made from crystalline graphite and mineral clay for consistent laydown
• Soft wood casing that sharpens to a clean, durable point
• Vegan formulation with no animal-derived materials
• Great for sketching, shading and blending, suited to beginners and professionals

The 5B grade sits comfortably in the softer half of the Camlin range, dark enough for confident shading and contouring, yet still controllable for detail work. It glides smoothly across the page, laying down rich, even tones with minimal pressure, so you can build up shadows and depth without repeatedly pressing hard on the paper. This makes 5B a favourite for portrait shading, landscape textures and figure studies where a soft transition between light and dark matters.

Camlin has been a trusted name in Indian art supplies since 1965, and this pencil brings that heritage to your sketchbook. Keep a pack on your desk for art class, home practice or professional studio work, and pair it with a harder grade for line work and this 5B for all your shading and blending needs. Whether you're working through a school assignment, filling a sketchbook for fun, or refining a professional portfolio piece, the 5B gives you a dependable, expressive line every time you pick it up.
