These jumbo pencils have a wider diameter, making them easier to hold, especially during lengthy writing/drawing sessions. Comes in a wide variety of lead hardness. 

Staff Review:

"I draw really, really, REALLY big (my canvas of choice is an 18X24-inch sketchpad), and this is the best pencil around for doing just that. Initially, I didn’t think it would be practical to have this chunky of a pencil, but it’s absolutely perfect for switching between shading and drawing fine lines in a big canvas. Can’t recommend enough for supersized sketching and even tiny doodling. Enjoy. " -Greg N. 

"Talk about a chunky pencil! I love this thing. It looks really cool sitting tip up in a cup of drawing materials. It possesses a rather charming cartoonish quality to it that just makes me happy. Plus, the graphite is high caliber and comes in five varying hardness grades for your preference of pencil tone! It's oversized and perfect for doodling and drawing cartoons." - Tristan
