General’s® Flat Sketching™ Pencil

General’s® Flat Sketching™ Pencil features a unique flat, rectangular shape designed to create expressive broad and thin graphite strokes within a single mark. Its wide, smooth graphite core and raw cedar wood finish make it a favorite tool for artists exploring calligraphy, lettering arts, sketching, and dynamic drawing techniques.

The bold graphite core glides smoothly across paper, allowing artists to quickly shift between sharp edges, broad shading, and dramatic accents simply by changing the pencil angle. Whether used for gestural drawing, stylized lettering, or adding bold graphite texture to artwork, the Flat Sketching™ Pencil offers exceptional versatility and control.
