The palomino blackwing is many artists favorite pencil. I find the tombow 4h softer than other 4h pencils. I love 4h for sketching because they are so light.
Writing is smooth and enjoyable with no ghosting flaws. The product is used for cursive writing. The smoothness and ease of writing are surprising.
