Colored Pencils Staedtler 175 Multicolour 36 pc(s)

The Staedtler 175 Multicolour set contains 36 coloured pencils designed for drawing, colouring and creative work. Each pencil delivers smooth, richly pigmented strokes suitable for layering, blending and shading. The pencils have a comfortable hexagonal body that reduces rolling and supports a steady grip during extended use. Break-resistant leads and good sharpenability make this set suitable for regular use by students, hobbyists and professional illustrators who need a reliable range of colours.

Advantages

The set offers a wide and balanced palette of 36 vivid colours with consistent pigment distribution for even coverage. Hexagonal barrels provide ergonomic handling and prevent pencils from rolling off work surfaces. Leads are formulated to resist breakage, allowing for fine details and heavy-handed techniques without frequent core damage. The pencils sharpen easily to a clean point, supporting both precise line work and soft shading techniques.

How to use

Select colours according to the desired palette and apply light strokes to build up tone gradually. Use layering and circular motions for smooth blends, or stroke-direction techniques for texture. Sharpen pencils as needed to maintain a precise tip for detailed areas; when creating broader colour fields, use a slightly blunter point. Combine colours by overlaying lighter and darker hues to achieve depth, and use a paper stump or blending tool if softer transitions are required.

Recommendations

Store pencils in a dry place and keep caps or a protective case when transporting to avoid breakage. Use a high-quality sharpener recommended for coloured leads to reduce core damage. For long-term projects, test colour combinations on a scrap sheet to confirm expected results on chosen paper.
