The Prismacolor Premier Graphite Drawing Pencil 18-Piece Set bundles three kinds of graphite in one kit: seven Turquoise drawing pencils graded 8B to 6H, four woodless graphite pencils in 2B to 8B, and three water-soluble pencils in HB, 4B and 8B. It also adds a Magic Rub vinyl eraser, a kneaded rubber eraser, a steel sharpener and a sanding board. The mix of dry, woodless and water-soluble graphite makes it a broad starter kit for sketching, shading and wash techniques, where single-line sets give you one medium only. It suits students and developing illustrators who want to try several techniques before committing to a full range of one type.

Artists who use the set describe it as a solid, varied introduction to graphite, with the Turquoise pencils drawing the most praise for smooth laydown and clean sharpening. Complaints center on the limited water-soluble range and on woodless pencils wearing down quickly.
The Prismacolor Premier Graphite Drawing Pencil Set has 18 pieces for drawing, sketching, shading and illustration. It combines three kinds of graphite pencils in a range of grades, from light highlights and mid-tones to deep shadows.
The set has Prismacolor Turquoise drawing pencils, woodless graphite pencils and water-soluble graphite pencils. Woodless pencils can be sharpened for fine detail or used broadly to cover larger areas. Water-soluble pencils make marks that can be combined with water for transparent washes and painterly graphite effects.
Two erasers, a steel sharpener and a sanding board are included. The Magic Rub vinyl eraser removes graphite in a controlled way. The kneaded rubber eraser can be shaped for precise erasing and for lifting highlights. The sharpener and sanding board help keep points ready for detailed work.
