1. Dual Application Method

These pencils stand out because they can be used in two ways:

• Dry Drawing: Used like regular colored pencils, featuring rich pigment coverage.
• Watercolor Effect: By moistening the drawing with a wet brush, the colors blend to create soft transitions and a genuine watercolor look. This allows for experimenting with shading and textures without needing multiple paint pans.

2. Ergonomics and Technical Quality

KOH-I-NOOR focuses heavily on tool durability. The 3.8 mm thick core is robust and less prone to breaking during sharpening or heavy pressure compared to cheaper alternatives. The standard 7 mm barrel diameter ensures a comfortable grip, while the 175 mm length guarantees long-lasting use.

3. 24 Color Palette

The 24 colors in this set are carefully selected to provide a wide range of shades. The pigments are vibrant and mix easily both dry and wet, making these colored pencils suitable for both detailed illustration and landscape washes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do these pencils require special paper?

Can I draw on already wet paper?

Yes, drawing on a damp surface produces an extremely intense, soft line, though care should be taken not to damage the paper fibers.
