Key specifications

• Product type: coloured pencils
• Intended use: drawing, colouring, illustration
• Lead: pigmented coloured core with moderate hardness for layering
• Shape: easy-to-hold barrel for control and comfort
• Compatibility: suitable for standard drawing paper, sketchbooks and mixed-media papers

How to use

Select the desired colour and apply with light, even strokes for initial layers; increase pressure or layering for richer, more saturated tones. For blending, use cross-hatching or circular strokes and build up colour gradually to avoid overworking the paper. Sharpen with a standard pencil sharpener designed for coloured leads to maintain a fine point and reduce lead breakage. Clean any residual dust from the drawing surface before adding further layers.

Usage recommendations

Store pencils capped or in a case to protect points and prevent colour contamination. Use heavier-weight paper when applying multiple layers or burnishing to preserve the paper surface and achieve optimal colour intensity.
