Faber-Castell Jumbo GRIP Colored Pencil, White

The Faber-Castell Jumbo GRIP colored pencil in white is a professional-grade writing and drawing instrument designed for versatility and comfort. Featuring an ergonomic triangular shape, it encourages the natural three-point grip, making it an excellent choice for both children and adults. The pencil is equipped with a patented Soft-Grip zone that prevents slipping, allowing for extended periods of use without hand fatigue. Its high-quality white lead provides excellent coverage, particularly on dark paper, colored backgrounds, and even whiteboards or blackboards.

Advantages

This colored pencil stands out due to its robust construction and user-friendly design. The SV bonding process makes the lead highly break-resistant, ensuring durability during intensive creative work. The water-based varnish is environmentally friendly, and the lead is formulated to be easily washed out of most fabrics, providing peace of mind during use. The inclusion of a dedicated name panel makes it highly practical for school or shared office environments, while the ergonomic design accommodates both right-handed and left-handed users equally well.

Suitable for

• Drawing and sketching on dark or colored paper
• Writing on whiteboards and blackboards
• Educational settings for students learning proper grip
• Creative arts and crafts projects
• Office note-taking and highlighting

When it may not be suitable

This pencil may not be the ideal choice for fine, highly detailed technical drawing where a harder, thinner lead is required. Additionally, while it performs well on various surfaces, it is specifically optimized for opaque coverage rather than blending or layering techniques typically associated with professional wax-based artist pencils.

Key specifications

• Ergonomic triangular barrel shape
• Patented Soft-Grip zone
• Break-resistant lead with SV bonding
• Water-based environmentally friendly varnish
• Washable from most fabrics
• Integrated name panel

How to use

To achieve the best results, hold the pencil within the Soft-Grip zone to maintain the correct three-point grip. For drawing on dark paper or boards, apply light pressure initially to build up the desired opacity. The pencil can be sharpened using any standard high-quality sharpener designed for jumbo-sized pencils. When using on whiteboards or blackboards, ensure the surface is clean and dry to allow the pigment to adhere properly.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your sharpener is compatible with jumbo-sized pencils
• Consider the specific surface texture, as results may vary on glossy or non-porous materials
• Check if the white pigment provides the desired contrast for your specific project

Usage recommendations: Store the pencils in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the lead. For cleaning marks from whiteboards, a standard dry eraser or a damp cloth is typically sufficient.
