What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Harder than an oil pastel and smoother than a soft pastel. They blend well and i like the looseness of them. Texture is soft and creamy, so it is very easy to draw.
They really are synonymous with high quality and you know that derwent is a trusted brand. The cost of these is understandable, as they are superb, and more than worth their money.
These pencils are perfect for shaded drawing on toned paper. They are also great for colouring in the edges of cut or creased card. Watercolour paper is also good.
Drawing are the softest cp i own. I find in this set i actually like the softness. The leads are nicely balanced in hardness so are versatile and dynamic.
These pencil crayons are really great. These are pencils for professional artists. Now a staple in my art kit.

I prepare models in card and plastic and the pencils are just the right variety of shades for adding ‘weathering’ to the surfaces they work on acrylic painted plastic as well as card or colouring in the edges of cut or creased card so the white is hidden
