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

I have the total set of Polychromos, Prismacolor and these drawing pencils. I prefer the drawing pencils over all due to the color saturation and the creamy smoothness while laying the color down. It is great for fur and all the colors have an organic nature look to them. You will still need the polychromos for detail as the cores are thick. I like them a lot.

Very smooth and looks great on paper. Lots of pigment. Favorite colors are the sanguine and terracotta. They are nice for portraits sketches.

These pencils are all I had hoped they would be. The colors are highly pigmented and a joy to use. Soft, buttery texture, and rich hues.

Love these pencils; so smooth and great for layering. The only complaint I have is the small color range.

I have only color swatches them, they Are very vibrant smooth And I cant wait to try them

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 go on the paper great, but the color selection leaves a lot to be desired. All of the colors are very muted and theres not a good green or brown color.

I love these pencils, especially the Chinese White! I use them with all my other color pencil sets, and the natural colors have really come in handy on my C.P. landscapes. While I love the bright colorful tints, and shades of other sets, they are often lacking these muted natural colors that come in the Derwent Drawing Pencils. Great pencils, I highly recommend them.

Love them for sketching.

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.
