Product highlights
The 72 Count Soft Core Colored Pencils are engineered with several key features that set them apart. Foremost is their premium soft core, which allows for incredibly smooth laydown and effortless blending. This characteristic is crucial for artists who rely on seamless color transitions and rich, deep tones in their work. The high pigment concentration in each lead ensures vibrant, long-lasting colors that resist fading over time, maintaining the integrity of your artwork for years to come. Each pencil features a colored barrel that precisely matches the lead color, allowing for quick and easy identification, streamlining your creative process. No more guessing games; pick the exact shade you need at a glance.
Furthermore, every pencil is clearly marked with its color name and number, complemented by a star rating indicating its lightfastness. Lightfastness refers to how well the colors retain their original intensity and resist fading or transferring under various conditions, a critical factor for professional artists concerned with the longevity of their creations. The robust construction of these pencils means fewer breakages, even with firm pressure, extending their lifespan and providing consistent performance. The carefully selected range of 72 colors covers the entire spectrum, including a variety of metallics, pastels, and earth tones, offering endless possibilities for every artistic project. This diverse palette empowers you to tackle any subject matter with confidence and precision.

How to use & care
To maximize the potential of your 72 Count Soft Core Colored Pencils, proper usage and care are essential. For optimal results, use these pencils on high-quality drawing paper or illustration board, which can better showcase their vibrant pigments and smooth texture. Experiment with different pressures to achieve varying levels of saturation and shading. Light pressure creates soft, delicate hues, while firmer pressure yields intense, bold colors. Layering colors is highly encouraged; start with lighter shades and gradually build up to darker tones to create depth and complex color mixtures. Their soft core makes blending a breeze, allowing you to achieve smooth gradients using either a blending stump, a colorless blender, or even your finger.
To maintain the longevity and performance of your pencils, always sharpen them with a good quality sharpener that produces a clean cut without splintering the wood or breaking the lead. Store your 72 Count Soft Core Colored Pencils in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperature fluctuations, as these can affect the wax binder and lead integrity. Keeping them in their original tray or a dedicated pencil case will protect them from damage and help you stay organized. Regular cleaning of your artwork area also prevents dust and debris from transferring to your precious pencils. With proper care, these pencils will continue to inspire your artistic journey for a long time.
