How to use

Select the Chromaflow colored pencil for areas where you need controlled, smooth application. Apply light, even strokes for base layers and increase pressure or repeat passes to intensify color. Use circular or cross-hatching motions for broader coverage, then blend with neighboring colors using gentle overlapping strokes or a blending tool. For mixed-media work, test compatibility with inks or water-based media on a scrap piece to ensure desired effects.

Usage recommendations

For best results, keep the pencil point moderately sharp for detail work and slightly blunt for softer shading. Work from light to dark tones, build color gradually, and use a colorless blender or soft tissue for smooth transitions. Store pencils horizontally to maintain even core condition.
