Review: Affordable - These are really good pencils, definitely a must have when drawing, especially if you're planning on drawing comics, easy to erase and ink over.
Review: The Swiss Know Quality - I think my search is finally over! As a cartoonist, I’ve tried an abundance of non-photo, or non-repro blue pencils over the past 30 years, and some are quite good. However, inevitably they all have one or two issues, such as being too light, too dark, too hard, or too soft, difficult to erase, not actually non-repro, etc etc. Like the Staedtler 2mm blue leads, which are nice, but way too dark. The Caran d’Ache non-photo blue Sketcher is my Goldilocks pencil… just right! I’m so glad I finally discovered it! The packaging says it’s “dry and soft,” which is an odd description, but as I quickly found out, also exactly right. It has just enough resistance on the paper, almost chalk-like, and there is no need to dig in hard for it to show up, as is the case with so many other pencils, like the Prismacolor Col-Erase. I’m a nerd about textures and the sound of my drawing implements on paper, and this checks all the marks for my picky brain. I’ve been using this pencil on Strathmore 500 series paper (also an amazing product!), and the combination of these two tools is wicked good! If you like a sharp tip however, as I do, you’ll find that you need to sharpen it fairly frequently, but from what I can tell, this is the only drawback. It does not seem to break easily at all. The opposite-tip eraser is also pretty decent, and leaves no ugly marks on the paper. All in all a fantastic pencil, especially for us cartoonists! Give it a try! PS: The color is not as dark as it comes out in the video.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the lead made from?**
A: It's not lead, it's a specially crafted blue pigment.

**Q: is this "non-photo"? meaning if i draw with it and then photo scan it, it will not be visible to the scanner?**
A: on my printer it does not show also on scans. I have HP printer/scan

**Q: Can you draw on top of this with pen?**
A: Yes, I would suggest a light touch when drawing as the lead is soft, or you can use a kneaded eraser to lightly pick up some of the blue pigment once you've completed the sketch, enough that it's lightened but still visible, then move to pen and ink.
-Nick A.

**Q: Is the blue just not picked up by scanners at all or do you need to go in after and erase them using Photoshop or something?**
A: Hello, I found some info on the Non-Photo Blue Pencils

What’s a SKETCHER
 Non-Photo Blue Pencil?
• It’s an art pencil used for rough sketches by
cartoonists, comic-strip artists, film animators,
illustrators and graphic designers.
• It’s a unique blue color that disappears when
reproduced in a photocopy.
• It’s easily erasable.
Caran d’Ache was asked to produce a Non-Photo
Pencil by animators that were dissatisfied with the
competitive pencils. Previously, available brands
either appeared when copied, were too waxy
resisting pen & ink, or they weren’t erasable.
The Caran d’Ache Sketcher Pencil was designed
to overcome all three issues. In addition, the Caran
d’Ache Sketcher is a high quality artist grade
6B sketching pencil that covers several times
the surface of competing brands due to its high
concentration of Swiss and German pigments.
The Sketcher Pencil is made with FSC (Forest
Stewardship Council) Grade 1 California straight
grain cedar and the cores are glued over the entire
length of the pencil, so that the core is breakresistant and never falls out during sharpening. The
water-based varnish on the barrel of the pencil is
non-toxic and biodegradable. A high quality eraser is
attached to each pencil, and the color shade of blue
is visible to many people who are color blind.
The Caran d’Ache Sketcher Non-Photo pencil can be
manipulated with software programs used by many
of today’s graphic artists, animators and cartoonists.
The ideal sketching tool
for artists, cartoonist, film
animators, architects,
illustrators and designers
Sold as two SKETCHER
pencils per blistercard
Draw a rough
sketch using the
Sketcher pencil.
Then ink over the
basic drawing.
Notice the soft
lead is not waxy.
Now erase a
small area. It
doesn’t smudge.
When the drawing
is scanned or
photo reproduced
the blue lines
disappear!
The coloring
process can now
be completed
over the blue line
sketch or over
a newly printed
drawing from
the photocopied
image.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No more nasty pencil stains on the paper!
*by V***A on March 19, 2025*

From now on, my go to sketch pencil. I was tired of regular pencils leaving gray smudges on the paper when it was time to erase the guide lines. Never tried non photo erase pencils but I finally gave it a go. These pencils are the best thing for an illustrator. The color is light so it is basically invisible once it comes time to ink. No more pencil smudges. As far as the brand itself, it's great. It draws like a regular pencil with ease. It also erases well. For those who are complaining that they don't erase, just don't go too hard with them, they are not meant to shade in or color anything. They are meant to be used lightly as a base for your final drawing which should be another medium like ink or graphite.
