New Tool Discovery: Staedtler Mars Lumograph Black Pencils
Staedtler Mars Lumograph Black Pencils, Pear drawing by LZM Studio
Here is my first review of carbon pencils (different than graphite pencils and also different than charcoal pencils!). I demonstrate the different look/qualities of them and link to purchase is below!
NEW INFORMATION:
Since I filmed this vlog, I’ve heard from some of you who also noticed the change in the Mars Lumograph Pencils, so when I couldn’t find more information on their website, I emailed Staedtler and got this response:
“We are sorry that we caused some confusion with the Lumograph series.
At the beginning of 2016 we integrated the Lumograph 100-7B and 100-8B into our Lumograph black series (for artists). So the pencil that was formerly called 100-7B now has the article number 100B-6B and the former 100-8B is now 100B-8B. They are not blue but black lacquered: https://www.staedtler.com/en/products/pencils-accessories/pencils/mars-lumograph-black-100b-premium-quality-artists-pencil/
So you are absolutely correct in noticing that there has been a change. Unfortunately, this information has not reached all our customers. We are very sorry for this.”

Really great to know that there was a recent change, as I had observed, and that the company was so responsive to my inquiry.
