How to use

Select a color and apply moderate pressure for opaque coverage or lighter pressure for a softer tint. For blending, layer adjacent colors and use the crayon tip or a paper stump to soften transitions. Keep the crayon tip sharp for detailed lines or use the side for broader strokes. Store the crayons in the cardboard box when not in use to prevent breakage and to maintain an organized palette.

Usage recommendations

Use heavier strokes and multiple layers for deeper saturation, and test color combinations on a scrap of paper before applying to a final work. Avoid using on non-porous surfaces; these crayons perform best on paper-based materials. Replace the cardboard box if it becomes damp to preserve the crayons' condition.
