FAQs

Are these pencils non-toxic?

Yes, Graffico Coloured Pencils are designed for classroom use and meet standard safety requirements for art materials.

Can these be used with a standard pencil sharpener?

Yes, they are compatible with standard classroom handheld and electric sharpeners.

Are these suitable for professional portrait drawing?

While they are excellent for sketching and classroom art, they are formulated for general creative tasks rather than professional fine-art archival standards.

Does the set include specialized skin tones?

The pack includes a wide variety of vibrant colors, though it is intended as a general-purpose assortment.

What is the best way to store these?

Keep them in a cool, dry place and preferably store them point-up in a cup or lying flat in their original box to prevent tip damage.

Troubleshooting

Lead keeps breaking during sharpening

Check your pencil sharpener for dull blades or buildup of shavings that may be putting uneven pressure on the pencil tip.

Color appears light or faded

Try adjusting your application pressure. These pencils perform best when using consistent, medium pressure rather than light strokes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High volume 144-pack reduces replacement costs
  • Sturdy construction holds up well to frequent student use
  • Easy-to-sharpen wood barrels prevent wasted material
  • Wide color spectrum allows for creative flexibility

Cons

  • Large bulk size may be unnecessary for individual home use
  • Not specifically rated for professional lightfastness
  • May require more pressure for intense color saturation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

No specialized setup is required; simply ensure they are kept in a dry, cool environment to maintain the integrity of the lead and wood casing. For the best performance, use a standard handheld or electric pencil sharpener designed for colored pencils to avoid over-sharpening or splintering the wood. When storing, keep the pencils bundled or in an upright pencil cup to protect the tips from impact, as dropping them on hard floors can cause internal lead fractures that lead to recurring breakage during sharpening.
