Accepted Answer

Coloursoft pencils feature a soft wax core that delivers velvety, blendable coverage with vibrant, consistent pigments, making it easy to create rich, expressive color.

Question 3

How can I get the best gradients and blends with these pencils?

Accepted Answer

Build color with light layers, gradually stacking to deepen tones. For smooth transitions, blend with lighter shades, or use a colorless blender or blending stump to merge colors seamlessly.
