The First Artwork I made with these pencils -

Had a lot of fun drawing this fish.

The Graphitint pencils have more of a toned down color which I love for some artworks and projects.

I needed a bright yellow so I had to use my yellow Inktense pencil. By the way the Graphitint pencils and Inktense Pencils works together very well.

Artist Colored Pencil Chart

Every Artist needs a Swatchbook! When you're an Art Supply addict like me and you have many pencil sets in your collection you may need to do swatches to keep track of all the colors of each set. With swatches to go back to it makes your next artwork just easier. It's very frustrating to search for that one color you just had. And also it makes it a little easier to just take a peek and see what colors would be perfect. So I decided to make a swatches book. This way we can take this book along and easily find the best colors for our new artwork. No more loose paper swatches laying around. Buy my book here : Artist Colored Pencil Chart

Derwent Inktense Pencils

Derwent Inktense Pencils. These pencils are very unique...They are watersoluble but definitely not like other watersoluble pencils. The reason I say they aren't the same as the rest is because once you've activated them with water they can't be re-activated. This means you can add layer over layer over layer. Just make sure you fully activate them because if there are still some dry pigment left they may smear or get activated when you do the next layer. The Derwent Inktense pencils are very vibrant. The colors in this range is lovely. The biggest set they come in is 72 colors. This may not sound like a lot of colors but the nice thing about these pencils are you can mix your colors. This also allows you to purchase a smaller set and still make beautiful artworks. You can mix them dry or wet but the magic does not end here. You can use these pencils on material and a lot of other surfaces aswell. Derwent also made Derwent Inktense Ink Blocks and these you can use as paint

Faber-Castell Polychromos. Are they worth it?

Are these pencils really worth the money? Yes, they are expensive but not without reason. They are lightfast and of excellent quality. Every Artist knows how important it is to use lightfast pencils so that your artwork does not fade away in time. If a client buys an artwork from you and the colors starts to fade you won't have a very happy client. Colored pencil art is very time consuming and you also do not want your hard work to fade after a while. Faber-Castell is a German Company founded in 1761 and till this day this company provide many artists with top quality art supplies from student to professional. The Faber-Castell Polychromos have a round barrel of 8mm and a 3.8mm core. They sit well in your hand and are very nice to work with. These pencils are oil based and highly pigmented. The Faber-Castell Polychromos comes in various set sizes and they are also available in open stock. The nice thing about pencils being available in open stock is that you can fill your set an
