鉛筆 Robusto Astier de Villatte

The deep brown color is richer in person than the photos suggested, and the chunky hexagonal shape sits perfectly in my hand for sketching. It sharpens to a fine point without crumbling, which is exactly what I needed for detailed line work.

The Robusto is a nice, chunky pencil that feels substantial in the hand. I appreciate the smooth, matte finish of the brown—it doesn’t slip while I’m sketching.

The green color is exactly as shown, and the hexagonal shape keeps it from rolling off my desk. It’s sturdy and produces a nice dark line without too much pressure.
