Colour pencil set Milan 0726136 — chalk-pastel pencils, 36 pieces, multicolour

Milan 0726136 is a set of 36 chalk-pastel colour pencils designed for drawing, sketching and colouring. The pencils feature thick 3.5 mm Ø leads that produce soft, blendable strokes suitable for illustration, school projects and hobby artwork. Each pencil has a hexagonal natural wooden barrel and comes in a metal box with an interior tray for organised storage. The wood used is sourced from sustainable forests.

Advantages

The 3.5 mm thick leads deliver even, uniform coverage and allow smooth blending and layering. Leads are reinforced with a Lead Protection System (LPS) that bonds the pigment core to the wood, increasing resistance to breakage. The hexagonal shape improves grip and prevents rolling during use. The metal box with an inner tray keeps the 36 pencils organised and protected when not in use.

How to use

Select the desired pencil and sharpen with a standard pencil sharpener appropriate for thicker leads to avoid breakage. Apply pigment with light to medium pressure for blendable washes or increased pressure for denser colour. Combine colours by layering and use a stump or finger to blend chalk-pastel strokes. Store pencils in the metal box when not in use to protect the leads and maintain organisation.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use a sharpener designed for thick leads, avoid excessive pressure that may stress the core despite lead reinforcement, and keep the metal box dry to prevent corrosion. Pair these chalk-pastel pencils with heavier-weight paper or sketchbooks designed for coloured pencils to minimise tooth show-through and improve blending.
