Unique velvety finish and natural colour range - ideal for nature drawings

Drawing Pencils

The colour palette of Derwent Drawing pencils takes you right back to nature. These highly lightfast coloured pencils are rich and earthy. You’ll find the soft, creamy texture and the extra wide colour strip will be a big help when you’re trying to build up dense fur or feathers in your drawings of animals.

These wax based pencils work beautifully with both dry and water-soluble mediums.

Available in a range of 24 lightfast colours, including a number of Sepia tones which you will find very useful when you come to draw portraits and life studies.

So why wait...get drawing!

This range of pencils is unique – they have qualities not found in other colour pencils. I love the strong pigmentation giving great covering power, but at the same time allowing many layers to show through. .. I found them very robust in use, allowing me to make expressive marks and gestures.” David Bremmeld
