DELI NS732 Drawing Pencil Set & Languo Erasers Review: The UK Art Student's Complete Sketching Kit
Jun 19, 2026
Every UK art student needs a reliable, comprehensive sketching kit — and the combination of the DELI Nusign NS732 Professional Drawing & Sketching Pencil Set — 16 Pieces and the Languo 3 Hardness Drawing & Sketching Erasers Set — 9 Pack provides exactly that. Sixteen pencils covering the full range of graphite grades, paired with nine erasers in three hardnesses that handle every correction and tonal lifting need — this is the sketching foundation that UK art schools, life drawing classes, and self-taught artists rely on.
DELI NS732: 16 Pencils, Every Grade You Need
The NS732 16-piece set covers the full range of graphite grades used in professional drawing — from the hardest H grades for light, precise lines to the softest B grades for rich, dark tones and expressive mark-making.
Understanding Graphite Grades
- H grades (H, 2H, 3H, 4H) — hard graphite that produces light, precise lines; ideal for technical drawing, architectural sketching, and initial construction lines that will be erased or worked over
- HB — the middle grade; the standard writing pencil grade that's also useful for general sketching
- B grades (B, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, 6B, 8B) — soft graphite that produces darker, richer marks; ideal for tonal drawing, expressive sketching, and creating the full range of values from mid-tone to deep shadow
Having the full range means you can use the right grade for each part of a drawing — hard grades for light areas and construction, soft grades for shadows and expressive marks — rather than trying to achieve everything with a single pencil.
Languo 3-Hardness Erasers: The Right Eraser for Every Mark
Most artists use a single eraser for all their correction needs — but different marks require different erasers. The Languo 9-pack in 3 hardnesses gives you the right eraser for every situation:
Three Hardnesses, Three Purposes
- Soft eraser — gentle on paper; ideal for lifting light marks, creating soft highlights in tonal drawings, and erasing on delicate or textured paper without damage
- Medium eraser — the all-purpose eraser for most correction needs; removes HB and light B grade marks cleanly without excessive paper abrasion
- Hard eraser — for stubborn marks and deep graphite; removes heavy B grade marks and can be used to create sharp, precise highlights by erasing into dark tonal areas
9-Pack: Three of Each Hardness
Three erasers of each hardness means you always have a clean eraser available — a used eraser picks up graphite and can transfer it to clean areas of the paper. Having multiple erasers of each type means you can keep one clean for precise work while using another for general corrections.
