The E+M Workbox is a gift set for anyone who enjoys drawing or writing with a substantial graphite lead. Its short Workman clutch pencil has an oiled body made from FSC-certified ashwood. Use the point for lines and detail, or the side of the broad lead to shade areas of a sketch.
What is in the box?
- 1 ashwood Workman clutch pencil.
- 1 graphite lead, 5.5 mm in diameter and HB hardness.
- 1 sharpener and a presentation support.
- 1 gift box.
Paper, an eraser and extra leads are not included. The wooden pencil holder is approximately 10 cm long.
Writing and sketching
HB is a middle hardness for both writing and sketching. Start with light pressure and build darker areas in layers. Support the lead while pressing the button, extend only a short tip and release the button to grip it. A long exposed lead is easier to break.
Choosing a replacement lead
Choose a 5.5 mm graphite lead intended for the E+M Workman. Thin 0.5 or 0.7 mm leads for ordinary mechanical pencils do not fit. Use the included sharpener on the graphite tip; the wooden body does not need to be sharpened away.
Ready for the next sketch
Collect the shavings and gently wipe away graphite dust to avoid marks on paper and your work surface. Clean the wood with a soft, dry cloth and do not soak it in water. Find paper and drawing materials for your next sketch, or compare creative gift sets.
