Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Best! Simply The Best. I've been buying these leads for years. They never come broken. I recommend them without hesitation. Tips: Vary line size by how you hold your hand; buy sharpeners from a store such as The Dollar Tree; sharpens soft lead to a very fine point; great for hard leads too because you get a dozen sharpeners for one dollar.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Close to the Koh-I-Noor but softer I have drawn with 5.6mm sanguine drawing leads for over 25 years, back when they were manufactured (or marketed) by Koh-I-Noor. For me, they offer the perfect amount of control and tone value. These are a bit softer than I'm used to--and it could be just this 'batch'-- but they are still better than any alternative. If the product was as 'hard' as it used to be I'd give it 5 stars!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from My Personal Favorite Leads Cretacolor Drawing Leads are a dream to use. The holders are ergonomic, the leads flow smoothly. They come in various colors and shades. My drawing is better when using these leads. I would use nothing else to draw with, however and there is unfortunately a big however, with these leads. Quite often the leads come broken. Most often it is the sanguine dry. I would suggest not buying this or the variety package, as they have always contained many broken, unusable bits when purchased. At best I have only managed to save half of the leads in the box. I like these leads so much and I am so disappointed not to be able to get them in usable form I contacted the manufacturer in Austria. They referred me to their US distributor, who said basically find a local retailer. I have found a substitute for the sanguine dry, that is ok and order the others from Jerrys.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from There is no competition Cretacolor Sanguine (dry) is the closest thing to red chalk that I can find. It has very consistent color and texture. Personally, I use the Sanguine with oil binder because it glides more smoothly and doesn't demand fixative.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Sanguine is actually purple-brown For those looking for the orange-brown-rust variety of sanguine (close to the natural red bole), this is not it. This product is the purple-brown variety (which is similar to one type of natural red ochre and is actually closer to the color of dried blood than red bole), a color that can be had from many other sources, including Conte. For the orange-brown-rust color, try polychromos sanguine pastel 188.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My favorite drawing media This is my favorite drawing tool. It's smoothness and the lack of dust because of the grease in the sanguine leads make it ideal for working anywhere. I carry it with my sketchbook and find it both responsive and sensitive. It is good for quick sketches, but is also capable of producing finished drawings if you want to polish them.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great mark makers I was disappointed in the Conte Crayon like leads in this series and found them weak and easy to break. But the Negro leads are FABULOUS! They make solid velvety marks that can be almost like pen and ink if you bear down on them and they are quite strong. I use them in combination with Rapidograph pens. The Negro leads digitally scan beautifully. The various holders work well. The wood ones are especially nice though a bit heavy. Of all the leads they make I think the two Negro leads are the most interesting.

Is there a lead pointer that will work for these leads? I've had to switch to larger leads in holders due to arthritis, but I haven't found a suitable sharpener for them.

Asked by: Artchick57
Regarding the sharpener, you could use a sandpaper pad block like this one http://www.jerrysartarama.com/sandpaper-pad. You can run the side of the lead against the sandpaper to create a sharper tip or point. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
