FAQs

What is the primary advantage of this pencil set?

The primary advantage is the combination of a wide range of 36 vibrant, blendable colours with high quality, all conveniently stored in a durable tin.

Are these pencils suitable for professional artists?

Yes, these pencils are valued by many professional artists for their quality, blendability, and range of colours.

Can I use these pencils for adult colouring books?

Absolutely. The vibrant colours and blendability make them excellent for detailed adult colouring books.

What are the dimensions of the storage tin?

The storage tin measures approximately 30.5 cm in length, 19 cm in width, and 1.4 cm in depth.

Are there any safety concerns for young children?

Yes, adult supervision is recommended at all times, and the pencils are not suitable for children under 3 years of age due to small parts.

How do I achieve smoother colour transitions?

To achieve smoother transitions, apply colours in light layers and gradually build up the intensity. You can also try blending the edges where colours meet with a lighter shade or a blending tool.

Can I layer different colours on top of each other?

Yes, a key feature of these pencils is their ability to be easily layered, allowing for depth and complex colour mixing.

Troubleshooting

Pencil lead breaks easily when sharpening.

Use a high-quality sharpener and sharpen gently. Avoid applying excessive pressure. Ensure the pencil is held straight while sharpening.

Colours do not appear vibrant.

Apply multiple layers of colour. Experiment with different paper surfaces, as some absorb pigment more readily than others.

Difficulty blending colours smoothly.

Ensure you are using the pencils as intended – build up colour gradually. For smoother blends, try using a lighter-touch pencil over the top or a blending pencil/stump if available.

Tin closure is loose.

Ensure the tin is properly aligned before closing. If damage is suspected, consider using an alternative storage method like a pencil case to prevent loss.
