How to use

Select a pencil colour and sharpen to a fine point with an appropriate sharpener before use. Apply even pressure to achieve consistent lines and gradual colour build-up; vary pressure for light tints or deeper tones. Use the pencils on standard drawing or colouring paper. Store the set in a dry place and transport in a pencil case to protect the cores from breakage.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use a high-quality sharpener and avoid excessive force when sharpening. When layering colours, start with lighter shades and build up to darker tones. Keep pencils capped or stored safely to maintain the integrity of the 2.9 mm cores.
