June Gold 36 Uniquely Colored 2.0 mm Refills, 90 mm Length, Pre-Sharpened

Wonderful and I ordered 2 more and will order even more, here is why: 1) This lead is a wonderful deep blue, not a coloring book blue, a pretty serious looking shade of blue. 2) It has the tactile scratchiness of an H level lead 3) it has the smoothness of a B level, it has great paper interaction, but not too hard and not too soft, but has some nice tooth on vellum. 4) It erases somewhat ok depending on how hard you pressed 5) Also has a slight very mild wax texture, so it is like the best of all words, colored pencil, graphite, 6) It never broke one time and in a technical mechanical sharpener gets a great point but it doesnt last a long time. Has a great price to quantity point...great value. 7) Is very fluid right out of the pencil holder , so great motion for sketching, actually wonderful for sketching at 2mm flat out blunt, at first I was always going for a point but it is great for concepts without any point at all. Nice on a harder backing surface , you can get a good tight scratch or go ice skating, somehow it can do both. 8) Is not a brittle as Pentel which I still like as well, but this with a point outdoes a .05 and .07 but does not hold the point as long to keep below .05. 9) Great purchase and price , this is an objective review , I did not get free samples and I am not associated with the company. 10) It has become my first choice goto blue lead for drawing , I do not use any black for sketches or drawings, I like the neutrality of blue, this will go dark with pressure but not extreme dark. In other words, no attempt at grayscale levels with an exact H or B match. 11) If you like Mechanical, like blue, like a good not too hard , not too soft material , love the price of this, then you should try it. I would not consider this a material for very very dark shadows...but my paper choice is translucent vellum ...that way I dont need a mirror check at all for concepts, I just flip it over and start drawing on the back, so I actually work a drawing on both sides, at the same time. if I need a total redo, I dont need a light table at all, just put the two sheets on a cheap piece of styrofoam 1/4 inch poster board 12) I will still use the Pentel .05 and .07 if I need a consistent area without needing a really sharp point. Extra tight details are done on the back of the drawing with UNI .05 blue. It is deeper and darker. 13) I like this material with either Borden and Riley 90 Vellum and or the 11 x 17 translucent white vellum from Paperandmore, however that paper is expensive so I get 200 sheets for 99 dollars at one time. This drawing material works fine on both. I do not use any drawing shield under my hand because I like to work the blue smudge and smear into the drawing as it happens randomly and evolves. This does not overly smear but when mixed with the Uni, gives a nice foggy tone to the paper as it develops in real time as opposed to a pre toned paper. 14) I am not a photorealist, so I cannot comment on the exact shading range for ultra realistic rendering, or illustration board. I dont really care , I am a line person, not a value person. 15) I use this more for the equivalent in blue of the shading drawing style types in the Italian Renaissance except in blue not red chalk, nut still more linear. In conclusion this material, a good mechanical holder, mechanical type sharpener , Good vellum , Uni and Pentel .05 and .07 as sidekick leads, .... and actually the rest of the world can go ahead and blow itself up if it wants too ....., I will go live in a cave with a skylight. Sorry if I used the word "I" too much , just trying to give you an example of a very specific example of how this material is used, and for the price , it is worth trying. Nothing beats drawing!!!!

If you need quality, well made refills, these are a fantastic choice! Highly recommended for anyone who loves smooth, vibrant mechanical pencil leads!

The color is great, it feels good to draw with, and it erases about as well as I expect a colored lead to erase. The only issue I had was in shipping, the little tube it comes in isn't super protective so about 1/3 of my tube was broken. Most of them were still usable it just shortened them.

I am not an artist. As a point of reference, I bought some Baile 2mm lead holders which came with lead. The Baile red seen tested here is hard and doesn't print on the paper vs. the Jun which prints on paper easily. The pictures speak for themselves. Jun lead is GREAT in comparison. I can put a dark mark on paper or a very light mark on the test sheet. You are going to need to do a test sheet to see the color before putting pen to art. The lead looks the same on dark colors (Green, Brown, Blue....), but the color on paper is distinctively different. I am giving it 5 stars. But let me tell you a down side, 1 lead is broken when I dumped them out. I dropped several while playing around and none broke, so... They don't come in a container with the leads labeled. Jun doesn't sell all these leads individually. So, while this lead set it GREAT and GREAT for the price and GREAT for the non-professional (kids and adults). If I was a professional, the inability to get more say Carmine (or any other individual color) AND the inability to organize the lead would bother me.

As always, great 2mm color leads. Good selection of colors. I trim them to fit in the multi-8 mechanical pencil.

As always I'm very satisfied with this purchase. this is my 4th set of a June Gold pencil set. I'm particularly excited about the new addition to the set. along with the pencils and a set of refill leads, there are, not 1 but 2, independent 2.0 sharpeners included. e been waiting for someone to finally get the hint that we need a small shapener for our pencils and these actually have a catch area for the shavings and it's small enough to be carried in your pocket, pencil bag or any other means. I have super glue a small ring on the one side of one of the sharpeners and placed a long chain on it so I can carry on my neck. never loose track of it and always keep my leads sharp. NOTE: make sure that you know where the seam is for opening and emptying the catch basin. if you get glue on that area you're screwed.

Really soft and break easily.

They are really good! Im going to buy the bulk pack of cheap mechanical pencils so I can have them at hand. I will be posting demos and reviews about these and more on my youtube channel soon! KINGART Premium 4 pc. Original Gold 9800 Series Dagger Striper Artist Brush Set

works great doesn't erase well witch is expect it

White leads have very low pigmentation. Purchased for drawing on toned paper and the marks barely show. I was hoping they work similar to white Prismacolor pencil and am sorely disappointed.

Essas minas pintam muito bem. O tubo é muito prático, protege as minas eficientemente. Para quem usa muito a cor preta, essa compra é um achado ótimo.

Me ha sorprendido que haya 36 colores en minas de colores. He comprado cinco lotes y creo que ya no necesitaré más mientras viva. Para trabajos de poca importancia, es un sistema muy cómodo. Además los lápices de marca que tengo, me durarán más tiempo. Lo recomiendo a cualquiera que utilice mucho los lápices de colores.

Mine de couleur pour porte mine 2 mm beaucoup de choix couleur toute différente. attention il n y a pas de porte mine à acheter appar
