Graphitint Tinted Graphite Drawing Pencils, Tin of 24 | Graphite pencils with a touch of colour in earthy, muted colours. Easy blending, smudging and layering. Use dry or add water

Up to now I’ve only had time to swatch these, wet and dry and also sketch a small quick tree. They’re a very interesting set of pencils and I’m hoping to get some time to do a full drawing with them soon. Lovely muted tones that should produce really atmospheric results.

Supplied in a blister pack and impeccably packed for safe transit, these elegant pencils come already sharpened to a reasonable point given the thickness of the cores. The rounded barrel is in a metallic shade of grey for the main part with a silver coloured flash and the end-tip is a similar shade to the core, to aid selection. Each pencil measures around 17.5 cm in length. ooOoo ~ DERWENT ~ GRAPHITINT WATERSOLUBLE DRAWING PENCILS ~ BLISTER PACK OF 6 ~ PROFESSIONAL QUALITY ~ CODE : 700801 'Derwent Graphitint Pencils combine the character of a water soluble graphite pencil with a hint of colour.

A very novel product from Derwent. First, the quality is perfect as usual from artist grade Derwent products, pencils have a nice weight and design, cores are in tact, hold a good point, centered, and presented in a functional tin. The cores themselves are very versatile, so far I've used them instead of my usual 2b to create some lightly tinted sketches. I've played them down thicker and washed over them with water to make some pleasing effects and tones in paper, finally I've found them to be very nice additions to my ranges of colored pencils, as they can be used as low light high saturated darks which are hard to find, or low saturated lights which are also hard to find. Quite unique, enjoyable to use, recommended medium for any artists collection.

I am so happy I decided to buy those! I struggle with coloured pecnils in general as I am rarely happy with the finish I get and the colours are too garish - but those can spread just like paint and the slightly muted colours are very beautiful and unique. They are perfect for using with watercolours, or just by themselves, and they look great when used dry or when wet (which makes the colour much more vivid) . The set of 12 has a really good selection of shades, although I slithtly regret not buying the larger box to get all the colours, as I love them and use them a lot.

I love the tones of these pencils and they are fun to work with. I only wish these and inktense pencils were lightfast. I mean who wants to create things only to have it fade and change over time? Also there were two pencils I couldn't tell apart in the set which was also disappointing. But the shipping method and speed abroad was fantastic!

Brilliant, I just love them. Only wish there were more colours .

ok

Just started back into drawing and painting in the last year from 30 plus years ago. I tend to gravitate towards watercolour with varying degrees of success - these pencils really inspire me to paint more and try new techniques. The colours are beautiful when blended with water ( I love the blues and russets ) and I find them easy to use. Will definitely purchase again.

Excelente entrega y excelente producto. Llego antes de lo previsto y en buen estado y con buen embalaje. Es el 3er producto que compro con distribuidora Rodin y sin duda volveré a comprar con ellos. De igual manera. Los colores Derwent Graphitint son un producto de 10/10. Pros: + se mezclan muy bien entre ellos + graphito de alta calidad + dejan boca biruta al pintar Cons: - Gama algo limitada. Limitada en dos aspectos. La caja mas grande que he encontrado y comprado es la de 24 piezas. Existen otras variedades mas grandes (inktense y acuarelas) pero son productos distintos y no creo que sean comparables. Además, para la gama de 24 piezas, los que vienen son algo limitados ya que no viene un amarillo vivo o un rosa o morado. Habiendo dicho esto y para ser justos, se pueden combinar los colores para crear los faltantes. Mi error al principio fue tratarlos como acuarelas en vez de graphito entintado. Creo que es un excelente producto y que puede ser una gran herramienta para cuando se requieren trabajos con paletas frías, de plantas, pelajes o terrosos.

Estos lapices presentan una mezcla de pigmentos acuarelables con grafito, de manera que al acuarelar ofrecen una gama de yonos quebrados realmente bonitos y difetentes a los que solemos encontrar en los lapices acuarelables habituales. La unica pega que le veo es el precio, aunque Derwent es una gran marca, creo que el precio es elevado para la calidad que ofrecen.

ottime e colori molto belli, prevalentemente inglesi però, quindi pochi i toni caldi e mancano i gialli del tutto; qualunque disegno diventa invernale, luci nordiche. si usano come matite (e prevale la grafite) e trattando poi con un pennello umido emergono i colori (che si trattano come acquarelli); si possono usare umide ma perdono il tratto fine. La scatola veniva da Uk e è arrivata chiusa con lo scotch e con un paio di ammaccature della latta, ma le matite erano perfette nella imbustatura interna. Si fa la punta con un buon appuntalapis e non si rompe il legno. Molto consigliate a chi ama soprattutto il disegno (non sostituiscono gli acquarelli veri e propri), poco adatte a colorare gli albi antistress secondo me.

Bom material

These are very fun to play with. Now I want all of the colors.
