Colored pencil Derwent Chromaflow deep blue by Derwent, single pencil, smooth pigment

Derwent Chromaflow deep blue is a single colored pencil from Derwent's Chromaflow range that delivers a smooth, richly pigmented blue for drawing, sketching and blending. The pencil core is formulated to provide consistent color laydown and good coverage, allowing for layered work, tonal transitions and detailed strokes in illustration and fine art applications.

Advantages

The Chromaflow formulation gives even pigment distribution and a creamy application that reduces drag on paper. Deep blue offers strong color intensity and mixes well with other chromatic pencils for gradation and blending. The pencil’s build supports controlled line work as well as broader shading, making it versatile for both precise details and larger fills.

Suitable for

• Illustration and character design
• Sketching and concept art
• Layered coloring and tonal blending
• Adult coloring books and hobby art

Key specifications

• Color tone: deep blue
• Core type: soft, pigment-rich core for smooth application
• Finish: matte wooden barrel with color-matching end
• Recommended surfaces: drawing paper, sketch pads, mixed-media papers

How to use

Use the pencil at varying pressure to achieve a range of values from light washes to saturated strokes. For smooth blends, apply light layers and build color gradually, then soften transitions with additional layering or a blending tool. Sharpen gently to maintain a fine point for detailed work; a slightly blunted tip will facilitate broader strokes and smoother coverage.

Usage recommendations

Store pencils horizontally to maintain even core condition and avoid breakage. Combine Chromaflow deep blue with other Derwent Chromaflow shades for seamless color transitions and with harder or softer pencils depending on desired edge control and texture.
