Derwent Drawing Pencils feature and extra wide 5mm colour strip and a round 8mm body. They are easy-to-grip, expertly crafted and precise. The Drawing range is available in 24 subtle shades. With Derwent Drawing Pencils you can enjoy:

First introduced in 1986 in a limited selection of six earthy colours, the Drawing range has been extended by popular demand. It features a distinctive light mahogany stained barrel with colour coded end dip and angled gold band. Its unique, waxy consistency makes colour easy to apply.

The Artists Pencil range from Derwent is one of eight types of pencils in the colouring range. Each pencil has a waxy texture that’s ideal for layering and blending, allowing you to create as many colours as you like. Not that you have to make your own - there’s 120 different colours in the range and an infinite spectrum of subtly different hues and tints!

Derwent Artists are highly pigmented, dry colour pencils with light fastness to ensure the colours remain true, no fixing required on finished work. The easy-to-grip body and premium quality soft textured colour core makes for both intense and delicate shading for drawing or colouring. A 4mm extra wide core provides excellent point strength and is useful for shading large areas.

Derwent Artists pencils can be purchased as a tin set, in a beautifully manufactured wooden box, or separately to build your collection. They are great for artists of all ages and skill sets, with both professionals and novices loving the range. If you need something for finer, more detailed work, you might like to look at the Derwent Studio range.
