The Pencil Drawing Kit from Walter Foster is an all-inclusive art kit for aspiring artists wanting to learn basic pencil drawing techniques.

Kit includes 6 drawing pencils, 1 charcoal pencil, 1 flat sketching pencil, an artist's triangle, kneaded & rubber erasers, 2 tortillons, sandpaper block, sharpener, drawing paper & pad, and a 32-page project book.

Most of the pencil drawing supplies in the kit are self-explanatory, but there are a couple that are not as common, such as the tortillons and sandpaper block.  The wrapped paper tortillon tool is used to blend and soften pencil strokes, while the sandpaper block is used to control the shape of the pencil point.

The project book includes step-by-step instructions and detailed illustrations for a variety of pencil drawing projects, including portraits, animals, landscapes, and more.  An ideal introductory kit for anyone wanting to learn how to draw!
