Colored Pencils Maped PIXEL PARTY 24 colors, triangular shafts, break-resistant soft lead

Maped PIXEL PARTY colored pencils set includes 24 colors presented in a compact cardboard case. Each pencil has a triangular shaft designed to support a comfortable, stable grip and reduce hand fatigue during extended use. The cores are soft yet formulated to resist breakage, providing vivid color laydown suitable for filling large areas, layering and shading. Pencil barrels are color-matched to the lead for quick identification and neat storage, making this set suitable for school projects, sketching and hobby artwork.

Advantages

The triangular shaft promotes ergonomic hand positioning, which helps maintain control when drawing or colouring. Soft, break-resistant lead balances smooth pigment transfer with durability, reducing the need for frequent sharpening and minimizing core breakage during use. The 24-colour range covers basic tones and transitional shades for blending and creative effects. Packaged in a lightweight cardboard case, the set is easy to carry and store.

Suitable for

• School assignments and classroom colouring activities
• Sketching, shading and practice drawing for beginners
• Creative hobby projects, crafts and colouring books
• Artists who need a portable, versatile basic colour set

When it may not be suitable

This 24-colour set is intended as a general-purpose option; professional artists requiring an extended palette, lightfast pigments or archival-quality pigments may find it limiting. The cardboard case offers lightweight storage but does not provide the rigid protection of metal or hard plastic tins, so pencils may be more exposed during rough transport.

How to use

Select colours directly by matching the pencil barrel to the desired shade. For broad coverage, use the pencil at a flatter angle and apply even pressure; for lines and details, use a more vertical angle and lighter pressure. To blend tones, layer colours gradually and use cross-hatching or burnishing techniques. Sharpen with a standard pencil sharpener designed for coloured pencils to preserve the soft core and reduce breakage.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: classroom and hobby use versus professional art needs
• Number of colours required for your projects
• Storage preference: cardboard case versus a more protective tin or box
• Compatibility with your sharpening tools and preferred techniques

Usage recommendations

For best results, pair these coloured pencils with medium- to heavyweight paper designed for coloured pencil work to reduce tooth wear and improve blending. Store the set flat to avoid pressure on cores, and transport in a protective sleeve or pencil case if carrying with other items.
