This guide is for students, hobbyists, and professional artists seeking a high-quality coloring experience. The Foska Oily Colour Pencils (Pack of 120) offer rich, vibrant colors with excellent blendability and fade resistance. While the oil-based formula provides smooth application, the break-resistant cores may still require careful handling to prevent breakage.

The term 'oily' refers to the oil-based binder used in the pencil core, which allows for a smoother laydown, richer color, and easier blending compared to wax-based pencils.
Yes, the smooth application and blendability make them very user-friendly for beginners, while the quality and color range also satisfy experienced artists.
These are oil-based colored pencils and are not water-soluble like watercolor pencils. While water won't reactivate them, they can be used with blending solvents if desired, but always test first.
Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in a pencil case or their original box to protect the cores from damage and keep the colors organized.
The hexagonal barrel provides a comfortable, secure grip, preventing the pencils from rolling off your work surface and reducing hand fatigue during long drawing sessions.
The pencils are made with high-quality pigments designed for fade-proof intensity, meaning colors should remain vibrant when exposed to normal light conditions.
The included sharpeners are designed to work well with these specific pencils. While they may work with other colored pencils, using them with the Foska pencils ensures optimal sharpening without damaging the cores.
Ensure you are using a high-quality sharpener designed for colored pencils. The included sharpeners are recommended. If the issue persists, the core might be damaged from impact.
This is unlikely with oily pencils but could indicate very light application. Try layering colors or applying with slightly more pressure. Ensure you are using a compatible paper type.
While break-resistant, extreme force or dropping the pencils can cause damage. Handle pencils with care and avoid pressing too hard. Ensure the sharpener is not creating excessive pressure.
Ensure you are layering colors gradually. Some paper textures may require more effort. Try using a colorless blender pencil or a solvent (used with extreme caution and testing) if advanced blending is desired.
Setup:
No setup is required. The pencils are ready to use out of the box. Ensure the included sharpeners are accessible.
Compatibility:
These pencils are compatible with most paper types commonly used for drawing and coloring, including sketch paper, cardstock, and watercolor paper (for dry media techniques). They perform best on surfaces with a slight tooth that can hold the pigment.
