The Monolith is a solid cylinder of graphite with a thin lacquer coating. The transition from the point to the edge in a single stroke smoothly varies the thickness of a line.

Available in HB, 2B, 4B, 6B, 8B and 9B. Also Available in a 4B water-soluble version.

Blur the distinction between line and form with the water-soluble monolith pencil. Draw on dry and then brush over with a wet brush to create beautiful washes of translucent gray.
