How to use

Select the desired colour and sharpen the pencil with a standard sharpener suitable for pencil cores. Apply with light pressure for fine lines and gentle shading; increase pressure for more saturated colour. Use layering and cross-hatching techniques to achieve gradients and richer tones. For blending, lightly overlap adjacent strokes or use a blending tool or paper stump on compatible paper surfaces.

Usage recommendations

Store the pencils in their pack or a pencil case to protect the cores from dust and accidental breaks. Test colours on a scrap of paper before applying to final work to check opacity and tone. Use a suitable sharpener and avoid excessive force when sharpening to maintain core integrity.
