Colour Pencil Pelikan 811132 Black 10 pc(s)

Pelikan Colour Pencil 811132 Black set of 10 offers ten soft black drawing pencils designed for smooth application and consistent pigment delivery. Each pencil features a soft-lead formulation that enables broad coverage, subtle shading and easy blending on paper surfaces commonly used for sketching and illustrative work. The pencils are suitable for repeated use in fine-detail work as well as for creating dark tones and contrasts in mixed-media projects.

Advantages

The soft hardness of these Pelikan black pencils provides even pigment laydown and a velvety feel on paper, which simplifies shading and tonal transitions without harsh lines. The cores resist excessive breakage during normal use and sharpen cleanly to maintain a predictable working point. The consistent black pigment supports layering techniques and is compatible with common papers and sketchbooks used by students and hobby artists.

How to use

Uncap or sharpen the pencil to the desired point using a handheld or mechanical sharpener appropriate for soft leads. Apply the pencil with light pressure for fine lines and detailed work; increase pressure or use side strokes for broader, darker areas. For smooth gradations, layer strokes lightly and blend gently with a blending stump, tortillon or tissue. Store pencils horizontally or in a protective case to prevent accidental breakage of the cores.

Usage recommendations

Use a medium-grit sharpener and avoid over-sharpening to reduce core breakage. For archival results, work on acid-free drawing paper and fix finished areas with a suitable fixative spray if additional protection is required.
