Colored pencils Astra double-ended triangular set — 24 pencils (48 colors)

Double-ended triangular colored pencils by Astra, pack of 24 pencils providing 48 color options for drawing, sketching and coloring. Each pencil has two different color cores in a durable wooden barrel shaped with a triangular cross-section to improve grip and control. The compact set is designed to save space while offering a wide palette of tones suitable for school use, hobby projects and basic art practice.

Advantages

The triangular ergonomic barrel reduces hand fatigue and helps maintain a stable hold, making strokes more accurate for children and adults. Two color cores per pencil double the available hues without increasing the number of items in the pencil case. Wooden construction allows standard sharpening with a manual or electric sharpener, and the balanced weight of each pencil supports controlled shading and layering.

How to use

Select the desired color end and sharpen with a standard manual or electric sharpener suitable for colored pencils. Use light, even pressure for layering and shading and apply cross-hatching or circular strokes for smooth gradients. Switch ends as needed to access complementary hues; when one core is blunt, flip the pencil to use the other color. Store the set in a dry place and keep pencils capped or in a box to protect the cores from breakage.

Usage recommendations

For best results on paper, combine light strokes with gradual build-up of color rather than heavy pressure at once. Use a blending stump or a colorless blender pencil for smoother transitions. Test sharpening settings on spare pencils to avoid excessive breakage of the cores.
