PANDAFLY Professional Colour Charcoal Pencils Drawing Set, Skin Tone Colored Pencils, Pastel Chalk Pencils for Sketching, Shading, Coloring, Layering & Blending, 24 Colors

I start to sharpen them with a pencil sharpener, continue with a craft knife, it is easy to sharpen them this way. It is very pleasant to work with the pencils, easy to blend them.

Ideal for the project they were purchased for

Son lápices altamente pigmentados, más blandos que un lápiz de color tradicional y más duros que un lápiz pastel, aún que se asemejan a estos últimos. Se mezclan y difuminan muy bien, es muy placentero dibujar con ellos, los recomiendo ampliamente. El paquete llegó a tiempo y en buenas condiciones

Charcoal pencils are as hard to sharpen as pastel pencils. Most people left negative reviews because of this. There is no pencil sharpener around that will get an entire set of 24 pencils initially sharpened. You can use a box knife, or you can buy a box of the Mobious and Rupert blades in the blue box. You can use them in any of the pencil sharpeners I used. Or buy the three pack of generals red sharpeners. You will dull every one. Don’t worry, they will still sharpen graphite pencils afterwards, or you can replace the blades. I found a beautiful pencil case roll on Amazon. It came filled with great art supplies including bicolor colored pencils that are of surprisingly high quality. But I I really wanted to dedicate this roll to my charcoal sketching so I took most of the supplies out of that roll and placed elsewhere. This roll is now predominantly for portrait sketching practice in a Strathmore toned tan 400 paper, but it also includes enough landscape colors that you can use it for nature sketching and urban sketching. I liked it so much that I bought the identical set by GETHPEN that is actually cheaper and put it on autoship. This is not a fine art product, but it is for sketchbooks. For fine art you will need to save up and get lightfast pastel pencils. I have a big set of Carbothello but that is such a big set, I wanted something smaller for on the go sketches and this is perfect. The colors are blendable just like pastel, work on toned or sanded paper, and can be blended with water. It’s a lot of fun for the money. NOTE this product includes only 24 pencils, not all that is shown in the picture.

人物デッサン用に購入しました。凄くいいです。木炭、パステルに比べて初手からある程度細かい仕事ができるので、短時間でまとまった仕上がりになります。 私はこの画材でそこまで精密な線を描こうとは思っていないので、100円ショップの鉛筆削りで普通に削って問題なく描いています。大きい画面で、画材の面を使って広範囲にザッと着色したい場合は、カッターか小刀でもう少し芯を露出させる必要がありそうです。 期待していたのは描線よりも混色とぼかし込みのやりやすさで、これは期待通りかそれ以上でしたね…。描いて塗り、指でこすりこむ、の繰り返しでサクサク描き進めることが出来ます。目元など細かめの部分は綿棒を使ってこすり込んでいます。カラー展開は、人物画に特化した商品タイトル通りジョーンブリヤン～茶系が色々揃っています。私はここまで色数使わず混色で描いちゃうので余りそうかな…。陰影をしっかり付ける人なら、このくらい数があった方がいいのかも。欲を言えば、原色の黄色と青がなにがしか欲しかったですが…。 今後は水や油でぼかせるか、他の画材との親和性など、色々試しながら愛用していきたいです。
