How to use

Select the desired colour and sharpen the pencil with a standard sharpener before use. Apply light to moderate pressure for colouring books and shading; vary pressure to achieve different tones and textures. For layered effects, allow one layer to sit briefly before applying another. Store pencils in the paper box when not in use to protect tips and keep colours organised.

Usage recommendations

For best results on thicker paper and mixed-media pages, use short, controlled strokes and a sharp point for detailed areas; replace sharpened shavings back in the waste bin and keep the set dry to preserve the wooden barrels and lead quality.
