Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your set in peak condition, store the nylon case in a cool, dry environment. Ensure that when sharpening the pencils, you use a high-quality sharpener to prevent lead breakage, especially for the softer pastel and charcoal variants. If using the watercolor pencils, clean your brushes thoroughly after use to prevent pigment buildup. When transporting, ensure the zipper is fully closed to keep the tools secure. The case itself can be wiped down with a damp cloth if it collects dust or graphite residue over time.
