Soft 2B Leadholder Lead For Bold Sketching
Staedtler 200-2B is a plastic tray of 12 Mars carbon leads in the soft 2B degree, 2 mm thick and 130 mm long.
A 2 mm lead in a leadholder gives far more graphite to work with than a fine mechanical pencil, and 2B makes the most of it. It lays down a rich, dark stroke with light pressure, which suits gesture drawing, quick figure studies, tonal sketches and loose layout roughs.
Staedtler intend the Mars carbon lead for use on paper and on drawing card, with seven degrees on offer from 4B to 4H. Each 2B lead is about 2 mm across, so it slots into the Mars technico 780 C and other common 2 mm holders. Staedtler say the leads are made in Germany, and the tray label prints it too.
Expect a soft grade to wear down and smudge faster than HB. Keep the point dressed with the sharpener in the 780 C cap, and fix finished sketches if they will be handled.
