How to use

Select the desired color and sharpen the pencil to an appropriate point depending on whether you need fine lines or broader strokes. Apply light layers first to build tone gradually, then layer additional strokes for deeper saturation. For blending, use gentle cross-hatching or circular strokes; blending tools or a paper stump can be used carefully to soften transitions on suitable paper types. After use, store pencils in the original case or a pencil roll to protect the cores and maintain point integrity.

Usage recommendations

For best results choose medium- to heavyweight drawing paper to avoid excessive tooth wear and to support layering. Use a quality sharpener compatible with standard wooden pencils and avoid applying excessive pressure to reduce breakage of the colored graphite cores.
