Product Information

Full details

The Creativ Colortime Metallic Colouring Pencils are designed for artists, crafters, and students who want to add a professional shimmering finish to their illustrations, handmade cards, and creative projects. These pencils offer a smooth, vibrant application that elevates standard drawings with a unique metallic luster. While they provide excellent color depth, users should note that the metallic pigments perform best on heavier cardstock rather than thin, porous paper to prevent buckling or uneven application.

FAQs

Can these pencils be blended?

These pencils are primarily designed for metallic accent work. While they can be layered, they do not blend in the same way as traditional soft-core wax pencils.

Do I need a special sharpener?

No, the pencils fit standard-sized sharpeners. A manual sharpener is recommended to preserve the integrity of the lead.

Are these pencils permanent?

They are designed for artistic use on paper and cardstock. Like most colouring pencils, they are not waterproof and may smudge if exposed to moisture.

Can I use these on canvas?

They are best suited for paper and cardstock surfaces. They may not adhere effectively to primed canvas.

How many colours are included in the pack?

This set contains six distinct metallic shades specifically curated for adding shimmer and luster to your projects.

Troubleshooting

Lead keeps breaking during sharpening

Avoid over-sharpening; use a manual sharpener with a fresh, sharp blade and apply light, steady pressure.

Color appears faint or dull

Metallic pigments rely on reflected light; try using a darker paper or applying more pressure to increase the density of the metallic particles.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ergonomic triangular barrel reduces cramping
  • High-quality metallic finish adds visual impact
  • Sturdy 3 mm lead resists frequent breakage
  • Versatile for both professional artists and hobbyists

Cons

  • Limited to a six-shade palette
  • Metallic pigments require specific paper textures for best results
  • Not intended for blending like standard soft-core pencils

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting started with your pencils requires no special preparation other than ensuring you have a sharpener compatible with standard-sized pencil barrels. To maintain the integrity of the 3 mm lead, avoid dropping the pencils on hard surfaces, as this can cause the core to shatter internally. When sharpening, use a high-quality manual sharpener to prevent over-grinding the wood casing. Store the set in a cool, dry place to prevent the wax-based pigments from softening in high humidity or direct heat.
