Triangular Colored Pencils Astra AF176AST — 18 Colors with Sharpener

Triangular Colored Pencils Astra AF176AST — 18 Colors with Sharpener provide a practical set of pigment pencils designed for everyday drawing and colouring.

These pencils are suitable for schoolwork, hobby sketches, colouring books and general creative tasks for children and adults.

Advantages

The triangular shaft enhances ergonomics by encouraging a tripod grip and preventing the pencil from rolling off a desk. A broad palette of 18 colours covers primary and secondary hues for diverse colouring needs. The included sharpener ensures points can be restored quickly without extra tools. The wooden casing provides reliable resistance for everyday use while remaining lightweight for extended drawing sessions.

How to use

Select the required colour and hold the triangular pencil with a comfortable tripod grip to improve control and reduce hand fatigue. Use the included sharpener to restore a fine point when detail work is needed; avoid over-sharpening to prevent breakage of the coloured core. Apply light to medium pressure for smooth coverage and layer colours gradually to achieve richer tones. Store pencils in their box when not in use to keep tips protected and organised.

Usage recommendations

For best results, combine several colours using light layers; blend gently with paper-to-paper strokes rather than excessive pressure. Keep the sharpener clean and use a low-angle sharpening motion to extend the life of the cores. Supervise younger children when using the sharpener to ensure safe handling.
