How to use

Select colours from the cardboard wallet and sharpen with a standard pencil sharpener suitable for coloured pencil cores. Use light, even strokes for base layers and increase pressure for stronger colour intensity. The triangular shape helps maintain a stable hold while colouring; rotate the pencil for even wear of the core. Store pencils back in the wallet after use to keep tips protected and reduce breakage.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use on medium-weight paper designed for coloured pencils. Combine lighter base layers with gradual layering to achieve smooth gradients; avoid excessive pressure to reduce core breakage. Keep away from prolonged exposure to heat and moisture to preserve pencil wood and colour quality.
