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.
