How to use

Select colors according to the reference or personal preference. Sharpen pencils with a standard pencil sharpener to expose the 4.0 mm core; avoid excessive sharpening to reduce breakage. Apply even pressure for uniform color laydown and use layering or cross-hatching to achieve gradients and shading. Store pencils horizontally or in a pencil case to protect cores from impact.

Usage recommendations

For best results, combine the Carioca Plus 4.0 colored pencils with medium-weight paper (minimum 120 g/m²) to reduce show-through and allow smooth blending. Use a light hand for initial layers and increase pressure for deeper tones; when sharpening, rotate the pencil gently to maintain barrel integrity.
