Colored Pencils Staedtler 175 Multicolour 72 pc(s)

The Staedtler 175 Multicolour set of 72 colored pencils provides a broad palette for drawing, sketching and coloring. Each pencil is formulated to deliver bright, blendable pigments and a smooth laydown suitable for detailed work and larger fills. The ergonomic barrel shape supports longer drawing sessions while the lead is designed for enhanced resistance to breakage, helping maintain consistent performance during everyday use.

Advantages

The 72-color range offers extensive tonal variety, allowing smooth transitions and subtle shading. High-pigment cores produce vivid results on paper while remaining easy to layer and blend. Ergonomic barrels reduce hand fatigue, and increased lead strength lowers the risk of breakage during sharpening or pressure application. The pencils are versatile across paper types and techniques, from fine-line detailing to blended color fields.

How to use

Select pencils according to the shades needed and apply light layers for initial tones, increasing pressure gradually to deepen color and saturation. For smooth transitions, layer adjacent hues and use circular or crosshatch strokes as appropriate. Sharpen pencils with a sharpener designed for colored pencils to maintain a fine point for detail work. Clean paper dust between layers to keep color application even.

Recommendations

Store pencils in a dry, cool place and transport them in a rigid case to prevent mechanical damage. Use a quality paper suited to colored pencil work for best pigment hold and blending. When blending, consider a colorless blender pencil or light solvent sparingly to achieve softer gradients.
