## Long description

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

Key specifications

 Included accessory: pencil sharpener

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.
