Colored pencil set Maped COLOR-PEPS Star, 72-piece cardboard case, triangular soft break-resistant cores, shaft colored to match

Maped COLOR-PEPS Star coloured pencil set contains 72 pencils presented in a cardboard case designed for organised storage and easy access.

The cores are designed to be soft yet break-resistant to deliver smooth, even coverage for colouring, schoolwork, sketching and colouring projects that require a wide palette of hues.

Advantages

Soft break-resistant cores combine ease of loading colour with reduced breakage while sharpening. The colour-matched shafts make it simple to identify tones quickly, speeding up workflow in classroom or studio settings. A 72-colour range offers extensive tonal variety for gradients, shading and detailed work.

How to use

Select the required colour by matching the shaft colour to the intended tone. Sharpen pencils with a standard pencil sharpener suitable for coloured pencils and remove shavings regularly to avoid contaminating papers. Apply light pressure for fine lines and shading, and layer colours gradually to achieve gradients or deeper tones. Store pencils in the included cardboard case to protect points and keep colours organised.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use a sharpener designed for coloured pencils and work on medium-weight drawing paper to reduce wax bloom and allow smooth blending. When blending, apply colours in thin layers and use gentle circular or back-and-forth strokes. Keep frequently used pencils in the top compartment of the case for quick access during lessons or projects.
