How to use

Select the required color and sharpen the pencil to the desired point for fine lines or a blunt edge for broader strokes. Apply light, even pressure for base layers and increase pressure gradually to achieve richer coverage. For shading and gradients, use overlapping strokes and vary pencil angle; blending can be improved by using light cross-hatching or a blending stump on compatible paper. Keep pencils dry and store horizontally or in a case to protect the cores.

Recommendations

Use medium- to heavyweight paper (120 g/m² or higher) for best color laydown and minimal paper texture interference. Test color combinations on a scrap sheet before applying to final artwork and sharpen with a quality sharpener to avoid core breakage.
