How to use

Select the desired color and sharpen the pencil with a compatible sharpener. Hold the triangular barrel between the fingers to benefit from the ergonomic shape while applying strokes. Use light layers for blending and increase pressure gradually to intensify color. For school assignments, combine colors by cross-hatching or layering to achieve simple shading effects. Store the set in its case or a pencil box to protect the cores from breakage.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use a standard single-hole or multi-hole sharpener designed for wooden colored pencils and avoid excessive pressure that may cause the core to break. Keep pencils dry and store them horizontally or upright in a container to prevent accidental damage.
