Product Information
Full details
This 80-piece set of GEEZY coloured pencils is designed for aspiring artists and hobbyists of all ages. Its key benefit is the smooth glide and rich pigment payoff, making it ideal for detailed adult colouring, sketching, and doodling. A potential caveat is that while versatile, they may not be suitable for professional-grade, highly advanced art techniques requiring specific lightfastness or extreme pigment density. This set offers a broad spectrum of colours in a convenient, pre-sharpened format, all housed in an attractive cardboard box.

FAQs
Are these pencils suitable for professional art?
While these pencils offer rich colours and smooth application, they are best suited for hobbyists, students, and general art activities like colouring and sketching. For professional use requiring specific archival qualities or extreme lightfastness, dedicated professional art-grade pencils are recommended.
How do I get the best blending results?
Layer colours gradually, starting with lighter shades. You can also use a white pencil or a blending pencil over the colours to smooth transitions. Experimenting with different paper textures can also impact blending quality.
Can children use these pencils?
Yes, these coloured pencils are completely safe for all ages as they are made with non-toxic materials.
What is the best way to store these pencils?
Store them in their original box or a similar container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their condition and prevent damage.
Are the pencils already sharpened?
Yes, the pencils come pre-sharpened and are ready to use straight out of the box.
What type of paper works best with these pencils?
They work well on most standard paper types, including drawing paper, sketch paper, cardstock, and colouring book paper. Paper with a slight tooth generally provides good pigment adhesion.
Can I use these pencils with water?
While not specifically designed as watercolour pencils, you can experiment with applying a light wash of water over the colour to achieve subtle effects. However, excessive water may damage the paper or the pencil lead.
Troubleshooting
Pencils break easily when sharpening
Ensure your sharpener is clean and in good condition. Sharpen with moderate pressure and avoid over-sharpening. If breakage persists, try a different brand of sharpener or a manual one.
Colours appear less vibrant than expected
Apply pencils with slightly more pressure or try layering multiple colours to achieve a deeper hue. Ensure you are using a paper type that accepts pigment well. Clean any dust from the pencil tip.
Pencils do not blend smoothly
Try layering colours gradually rather than applying heavy pressure initially. Use a lighter colour or a white pencil to blend the edges. Some paper textures can affect blending; experiment on different paper types.
Lead gets dull very quickly
This can be normal for softer leads. Ensure you are using a sharpener that creates a fine point. For detailed work, frequent touch-ups with a sharpener are recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These coloured pencils are pre-sharpened and ready for immediate use upon unboxing. Simply remove them from the packaging and begin drawing or colouring.
Compatibility:
- Paper Types: Best used on standard drawing paper, sketch paper, cardstock, and paper intended for colouring books. They perform well on surfaces with a slight tooth that can hold pigment.
- Other Media: Can be used in conjunction with light washes of water for basic watercolour effects, or layered over with coloured pencil mediums for specific textures. Not recommended for use on digital drawing tablets or highly textured surfaces like canvas without proper preparation.
Care:
- Sharpening: Use a standard pencil sharpener for best results. Avoid over-sharpening to prevent breakage.
- Storage: Store the pencils in their original cardboard box or a similar container to protect them from dust, moisture, and damage. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Cleaning: If pencils become dusty, gently wipe them with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions directly on the pencils.
