Colored Pencil Set Astra hexagonal wooden pencils — 24 colors

Astra colored pencil set contains 24 hexagonal wooden pencils designed for drawing, sketching and coloring. The hexagonal barrel improves grip stability and reduces rolling on flat surfaces, making these pencils practical for school, hobby and home use. The set offers a broad palette of saturated and pastel tones suitable for illustrations, shading and color blending in artwork and craft projects.

Advantages

Hexagonal wooden casing provides comfortable grip and prevents pencils from rolling off desks. The color cores deliver even pigment laydown for consistent coverage and layering. The assortment of 24 different colors gives a wide spectrum for realistic rendering and creative compositions. Durable wooden barrels allow for repeated sharpening without splintering when sharpened with a standard desk sharpener.

How to use

Select colors from the set and sharpen with a compatible sharpener to achieve the desired tip width. Apply light layers for glazing and build up pigment gradually for smoother blends and richer tones. Use cross-hatching, circular strokes or layering techniques to achieve different textures and depth. Combine colors by overlaying and blending with a blending stump or a tissue for softer transitions.

Usage recommendations

Store pencils horizontally or in a pencil case to prevent breakage and maintain even wear. Keep away from moisture and direct heat to protect the wooden casing and pigment quality. For best results on smooth paper, use light pressure and multiple layers rather than heavy pressure on a single pass.
