How to use

Select the desired shade and, if needed, sharpen the pencil to a fine point for detailed lines or to a broader tip for filling larger areas. Apply light, even strokes for layering and blend tones by varying pressure or overlaying adjacent colours. For best results on colouring books or sketch paper, work from light to dark tones and keep pencils sharp for precise contours. Store the set in a dry place and protect the tips from impact to avoid breakage.

Usage recommendations

For children, use under adult supervision when sharpening. To extend the life of the pigment cores, avoid excessive pressure and use a quality sharpener designed for coloured pencils. Combine shades from the set for smoother gradients and consider using a colourless blender pencil or light, even strokes to achieve softer transitions.
