Derwent Coloured Pencils

The difference between ranges is how much pigment is in the core, and it shows the moment you try to build colour in layers. Student grades lay down lightly and reach their limit early; artist grades keep taking colour and blend further. Core hardness varies too, with softer cores blending readily and harder ones holding a point for detail. See coloured pencils, Inktense pencils and watercolour pencils.
