The Staedtler Ergosoft 157 Multicolour set contains 36 colored pencils in a range of vibrant hues designed for drawing, colouring and detailed shading.

The ergonomic triangular barrel supports a comfortable grip for prolonged use, reducing hand fatigue for students, hobbyists and professional illustrators. These pencils perform well on different paper types and deliver consistent colour payoff across the palette.

Advantages

Ergonomic triangular shape provides a secure and natural hold that helps maintain control during precise work. Soft lead formula ensures smooth, even coverage and facilitates subtle blending techniques. The wide selection of 36 colours allows for extensive colour mixing and layering without frequent repetition. Durable casing and well-seated leads reduce breakage during normal use, while consistent pigment distribution ensures predictable results across multiple sheets.

How to use

Select colours from the 36-colour set and apply with light, even strokes to build up tone gradually. Use the pencil on suitable drawing paper; begin with soft layers to establish base hues and then increase pressure or layer additional colours to intensify saturation. For blending, apply adjacent colours and use cross-hatching or circular strokes, or blend gently with a colourless blender or paper stump. Sharpen the pencils as needed with a quality sharpener to maintain a fine point for detailed work.

Recommendations

Store the pencils in their case when not in use to protect tips and maintain organisation. When working on finished pieces, test colour combinations on a scrap of the same paper to check saturation and blending behaviour. For extended sessions, use the triangular grip to reduce hand strain and rotate the pencil slightly to wear the lead evenly.
