Ticonderoga Erasable Checking Wood-Cased Pencils, Pre-Sharpened

Ticonderogo is by far my favorite pencil brand for actual pencils -the kind you have to sharpen :) My daughters math teacher requested red pencils for her pre-algebra class. These pencils are perfect. The are pre-sharpened, write smoothly and are easy to erase. Best brand by far!

Dropping digital and going old-school- use I these red, blue pencils for my text books, and my Bible studies. Works great, erases, does not bleed......sharpens well, eraser on top of pencil. Just like my teacher used to use. A Classic.

Ticonderoga pencils truly are a better pencil. They write better, sharpen better, erase better... Over the years of teaching, writing, and grading papers I have learned to use only Ticonderoga. These red pencils sharpen better and don't break off the tip; I don't have to keep sharpening over and over until I am left with a small stub all in one day. I can write lighter or darker, depending on what I need. The eraser works better than other pencil erasers too. They erase nice and clean. We also use these red pencils for marking scripture passages and they are the perfect color for that. We can lightly color in the passage and still be able to read it. I highly recommend these pencils for all your red pencil needs :)

Perfect. They say these things are for checking things off on a paper document, but I got these to see how they compare the similar Prismicolor Col-Erase colored pencils, and they work really well! I was hoping it would be similar to the light blue color for those pencils. It's a little darker than that pencil, but there are two reasons why that's nice. 1: It hold back a little more than the light blue prismicolor. Meaning it shows up better with some distance away from the paper. So you don't have to squint or bring your head closer to the paper as much as with the light blue prismicolor. 2: It has the same effect when scanning it. Anyone who does cartoon and comic inking knows that the ink lines need to scan in cleanly on either a strait black and white or line art setting on a scanner, and this pencil does it just as nicely as the prismicolor equivalent. No more erasing pencils on your drawings! Now there is a minor quibble I have with these pencils but it's actually goes for most other erasable colored pencils, and that's sharpening. With an electric sharpener you won't have much of a problem, but for on the go manual sharpener, they tend to not have as easy of a time as regular graphite and many sharpeners will just break the tips off the lead. They also wear down sharpeners so it might be a good idea to stock up on the one you find that does the job, Also keeping an exacto knife and/or sand paper to sharpen it with would also be a good choice.

These pencils shade and made line art easy to doodle or draw. I use these for entire sketchbook that was 120 pages. Only con was sometimes the lead of the pencil would break easily.

So yea, really good pencil and I recommend it.

Exactly what I ordered

These are still my go to pencils. These are used in the tattoo industry a lot. I just love drawing with the color red. It's not to dark and not to light. Once i get my base drawing done in red. I can go over the lines with a regular drawing pencil and correct parts or add more detail.

I discovered Ticonderoga two years ago and I love them. The red ones are best for correcting homeworks with notes added in the margin. The eraser at the end of the pencil really rubs the 'fault' out like even a Staedtler cannot. I also have the plain pencils in black and they are perfect for drawing, writing and again the eraser is perfect. I recommend the Ticonderoga pencils in both black and red lead.

Voy a hacer una crítica común para los dos colores que he comprado de estos lápices: rojos y azules. Compré un par de cajas de estos lápices de colores borrables (azul y rojo) como una posible alternativa a su equivalente en otra marca, los clásicos Col-erase de Prismacolor, que he usado durante un par de decenios largo (sí, lees bien :D) en casi todas sus en sucesivas reencarnaciones de marca (Faber Castell, Eberhard Faber, Sanford, Prismacolor) Y ello porque los Col-erase en España a menudo se encuentran a precios abusivos y desde que empecé a usarlo han ido perdiendo la combinación de increíble equilibrio entre solidez y plasticidad de trazo, intensidad de color y fácil borrado que en un tiempo los caracterizaba. No me disgustan, no siendo una gama alta, los Dixon Ticonderoga HB , así que pensé que podría darles una oportunidad a los azules y rojos borrables de esta marca. ¿Resultados y conclusión? He de decir que en el aspecto formal son agradables por estética (con un ligero toque retro) , peso (ligeros) y factura (bien acabados, como los HB amarillos, un perfil hexagonal de aristas más suaves que otros) La madera, sin ser la maravilla, se afila bien sin fragmentarse y las minas no se rompen al afilar ni al dibujar. En cuanto a borrado, no es algo que me preocupe porque los uso sin borrar demasiado pero la calidad de borrado, siendo mayor que en un lápiz de colores normal, es regular, por el grafito y por la goma. Si en un col-erase sería de cuatro de cinco estrellas, a los Ticonderoga les daría entre tres y dos. Hasta aquí, lo que sirve para los dos colores, rojos y azul. Pero en cuanto a trazo, tengo que decir que sin ser malos, tanto el rojo como el azul carecen de las características de ese equilibrio de intensidad de color, suavidad en el trazo y buen borrado de los clásicos Col-erase. ------>Aquí si hay una diferencia entre rojo y azul. Los AZULES son bastante horribles, tienes ese trazo desvaído y un poco áspero de lápices borrables malos escolares . Bastante horribles, ni los regalaría a un niño. >Los rojos no están mal. Si bien no se medirían con el peor de los col-erase, conservando un poco de ese trazo un poco flojo y rasposillo de sus hermanos azules, apretando tienen algo de fuerza. Digamos que a falta de un col-erase rojo o naranja se dejan usar.

You will never use a normal pencil again!!! Fantastic. 💖💖💖

Le ho prese per fare le basi della lineart definitiva. La matita è buona e scorre bene, ma quando la si va a cancellare (anche se usata con tratto leggero) lascia comunque un po' di colore sulla carta.

I bought as alternative for prismacolor col-erase color pencil, and to be honest I love it and next time I will buy the blue one. Thank you
