Derwent Drawing Pencils - Set of 24

These pencils work well with various papers, including sketching paper, Bristol board, and mixed media paper. The texture of the paper will affect the final result, so experimenting with different surfaces is recommended.

Use a high-quality pencil sharpener or a craft knife to sharpen the pencils to your desired point. A sharper point is useful for detailed work, while a blunter point is better for broad strokes and blending.

Yes, these pencils can be combined with other drawing mediums, such as graphite pencils or coloured pencils, to create mixed media artwork. This allows for a greater range of effects and textures.
