Regular pencils do not have a wide range of hard to soft leads. This affects the value or ability to get a dark mark. Art pencils have a very wide range of hard to soft leads. The Ebony pencil used in Grades K-3 and Grades 4-6 is a very soft graphite, enabling students to get dark marks easily. Although we say “lead” there is no lead content in a graphite pencil and they are perfectly safe to use.
