The Blackwing 7 is a tribute to animation art and the incredible stories that can be told with it. Each set of 12 pencils comes with six different designs. When placed side by side and viewed through the included viewfinder, the pencils come together to form a " Picket Fence Animation" of Chuck Jones' iconic Wile E. Coyote with seven images.
With roots in the 1930s, the pencil once developed by Eberhard Faber was discontinued in 1998. After many requests from a wide variety of artists' circles, Palomino finally resumed production in 2010.
Note: For economical sharpening with an unusually shallow angle, we recommend the KUM "Long Point" pencil sharpener.

From whistling mice and rascally rabbits, to pocket-sized monsters and talking sponges, animation has given life to countless memorable characters. It is a storytelling medium bound only by the limits of our imagination, giving it infinite possibilities.
The Blackwing 7 is a tribute to animation and the incredible stories it lets us tell. Each set of 12 pencils comes with six different designs.

Each pencil includes a black ferrule, gold clip, orange eraser, and our balanced graphite.
