I went down a pencil rabbit hole after buying Blackwing Matte pencils and realizing I had no real point of reference for how they behave.

Before they even arrived, I started wondering: what pencils are actually close to these?

In this video, I compare the Blackwing Matte against several 4B and black graphite pencils to see how they stack up in tone, feel, and overall behavior. This isn’t about picking a “best” pencil — it’s about narrowing in on which ones behave most similarly, and what surprised me along the way.

If you’re curious about dark pencils, matte graphite, or how different brands really compare on paper, this is a hands-on test.
