Derwent Colored Drawing Pencils, Metal Tin, 24 Count (0700672)

Great for texture

The pencils are nice as expected but the set came without a lid. I guess I’m not surprised since I have other Derwent sets and the lids are all loose.

These are the hidden gems in Derwents line --soft, creamy, muted colors. 23/24 have lightfast rating of 8 or 3 stars, while one has a rating of 7 or 2 stars. These lay down smoothly and richly and blend well with my Lyra Rembrandts and Caran dAche Pablos. For my very first color drawing, I used pencils from all three sets. The Caran dAche Pablos provided the intermediate layer. These pencils provided the base. The Derwent Drawing Pencils are softer than both the Lyras and the Pablos. They are excellent for laying down broad strokes. I use them a little less than I use the Lyras because they are more expensive than the Lyras. However, these are better portrait, fur and feather pencils that combine easily and beautifully with the harder pencils, as my fur drawing below shows. Almost all of that drawing was done using these pencils. They deliver broad strokes as well as fine lines. All in all, these pencils are at the top of the line for creamy fur, hair and feather drawings. Combine these with a rich, harder lightfast pencil and youll have all you need.

Rich pigment

The pencil are very nice but I received the product in a dented tin with pencils that had broken lead ,causing lose of product

Los lápices llegaron como si hubiesen sido usados y devueltos por alguien más, no aguantaban que se les afilara, se quebraban al punto que dos de ellos quedaron a la mitad.

Great natural colors. Perfect for animals., Soft, opaque coverage. Only down to four stars as these are very soft. Glad to have them in my pencil box.

Missing tin lid and zero padding in box. I fear the pencils are damaged but can’t return as I am on a project deadline. For an expensive item I expect a little more care. Not happy.

These are interesting to work with. To me, they feel like a cross between coloring pencils and pastel pencils. In a way, they feel a little like graphite but harder. The color range is earthy and great for landscapes. I have so many Derwent products and am glad to add this to my collection.

these pencils are perfect for sketchers. you can erase the soft lead, but it doesnt erase completely, just enough. gorgeous colors for creating various skin tones
