Kores Kolores Selection Triangular Colored Pencils, 72-Piece Set, Linden Wood

The Kores Kolores Selection 72-piece colored pencil set is a professional-grade collection designed for artists, students, and creative hobbyists. Crafted from high-quality linden wood, these pencils offer a smooth sharpening experience and consistent performance. The ergonomic triangular barrel design is specifically engineered to reduce hand fatigue, allowing for comfortable use during long drawing or coloring sessions.

Advantages

These colored pencils feature a fully bonded lead construction, which significantly enhances durability and prevents the core from breaking during use or sharpening. The high-pigment leads provide vibrant, rich color application that blends easily on various paper types. The triangular shape not only improves grip but also prevents the pencils from rolling off flat surfaces, ensuring a more organized workspace.

Suitable for

• Detailed artistic illustrations and sketching
• School projects and academic assignments
• Adult coloring books and creative hobbies
• Color blending and layering techniques

When it may not be suitable

This set may not be the optimal choice for professional fine art applications requiring lightfastness ratings or archival-grade pigments. Additionally, the triangular barrel design might feel unconventional for users who are strictly accustomed to traditional hexagonal or round pencil shapes.

Key specifications

• Set size: 72 unique colors
• Material: Linden wood
• Barrel shape: Ergonomic triangular
• Lead construction: Fully bonded for break resistance

How to use

To achieve the best results, sharpen the pencils using a high-quality sharpener to maintain the integrity of the linden wood casing. Apply light pressure for subtle shading and increase pressure for bold, saturated color. The pencils are designed for smooth layering; start with lighter colors and gradually build up intensity to create depth and texture in your artwork.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the storage space is adequate for a 72-piece set
• Consider the intended paper surface, as these pencils perform best on standard to medium-tooth drawing paper
• Verify if the color range meets your specific project requirements

Usage recommendations

For optimal longevity, store the pencils in a cool, dry place and avoid dropping them, as internal lead damage can occur despite the bonded construction. Use a soft eraser or a kneaded eraser to correct mistakes without damaging the paper fibers.
