Pullingers verdict on Derwent Graphic Pencils.

A wide range of shades. Harder grades are perfect for faint sketching for watercolours. The leads are consistent and not grainy; they give a lovely smooth line throughout all the degrees. Sharpen to fine point, even the softer grades.

Tips for drawing with Derwent Graphic Pencils.

It’s a good idea to use a paper stump or clean tissue to blend. Use good quality paper and avoid touching the drawing surface with your hands. The natural oil from your skin can affect blending and erasing of the graphite.
