How to use

Sharpen the pencil with a suitable manual or mechanical sharpener to the desired point for broad coverage or fine detail. Apply light, even pressure for layering and use cross-hatching or circular strokes for smooth transitions. Combine with other colour pencils for blending; work on appropriate paper with tooth to hold pigment. Store the pencil in a dry place and protect the tip from impact to avoid core breakage.

Recommendations

For long-lasting results, use on medium- to heavyweight drawing or sketch paper with slight tooth. To achieve soft blends, layer colours gradually and blend using a blending stump or a light burnishing technique rather than excessive pressure.
