Pencils are made of graphite and wood. The graphite is mixed with clay and this results in various levels of hardness. Cedar wood is generally used to ensure the pencil is easy to sharpen and protect the inside core of the pencil. 

What are the best drawing pencils for beginners? 

If you are trying your hand for the first time with art, a drawing pencil set is the best way to practise. Buying a set will allow you to experiment with an array of colours. As you progress you can try the different types of drawing implements to see what style works best for you. 

How do I choose the correct hardness for my drawing pencil?

This depends heavily on your own artistic style and preference. If you prefer lighter lines and shading, go for a softer pencil (B). For fine lines and details, a harder pencil (H) is recommended. For an in-between, a HB pencil offers a good balance between the two.

What's the difference between graphite and charcoal drawing pencils?

Graphite is versatile and offers a smooth, clean line, while charcoal has more of a bold, expressive effect and is excellent for dramatic shading.

Can I use watercolour pencils without water?

Yes, you can! Watercolours do still work as normal coloured pencils, but when water is applied, they transform into a watercolour effect. 

How can I prevent pencil smudging while drawing?

To reduce smudges in your drawing, you can use a fixative spray on finished drawings. If you are still working on your masterpiece, you can avoid smudges by placing a clean sheet of paper under your hand as you draw to prevent direct contact with the paper. Opting for harder pencils can also reduce smudging.

Do coloured pencils work well for professional artwork?

Absolutely! Many professional artists use coloured and drawing pencils as their weapon of choice when creating a masterpiece. At ArtStore Online we offer a wide range of vibrant colours and allow for detailed layering.
