You get a nice dark line with these. My only this is you need a sharpener, and I find that pencils that require a sharpener tend to break fairly easy. And this one is no different. It crumbles and breaks easy, so you are wasting more than using it. It's a great color, but that is about all it has going for it.

I don't know if I got a dud but this pencil was horrible. It was so dry and crumbly. I had to put a lot of pressure on it to draw on my hand. However, on my eyes, it never showed up. It was the worst pencil I have ever used. I even sharpened a ton of it hoping that the middle of the pencil might be better...nope! Still the same. SO in the garbage it goes.
