How to use

Select the pencil and sharpening angle appropriate to the desired mark: sharpen to a fine point for detailed lines or create a blunter edge for softer shading. Hold the pencil at different angles to vary stroke width and tonal density; use lighter pressure for faint lines and heavier pressure for darker, saturated tones. Combine hatching, cross-hatching and blending techniques with minimal tools such as a tortillon or fingertip to achieve gradients and texture. Store the pencils in a dry place and sharpen with a suitable sharpener to maintain consistent performance.

Usage recommendations

For longer-lasting points and reduced breakage, sharpen gently and avoid excessive pressure when drawing. Use a quality sharpener designed for wooden pencils, and pair the set with an eraser and blending tool for expanded control over tone and detail.
