Faber-Castell Black Edition Color Pencils, Supersoft Core, Neon & Pastel Mix, Extra Smooth & Highlights on Dark Paper, Ideal for Drawing & Crafting, Assorted – Wallet of 12

They’re optimized for on-dark paper and tinted papers, where the supersoft core can really stand out. They also perform well on light paper, but the strongest highlights and contrast are achieved on dark backgrounds.

Feather blending refers to the creamy, low-pressure laydown that lets you blend gradients smoothly. You can layer multiple colors softly to create subtle transitions, even on dark papers, without harsh lines.

SV bonding helps protect the pencil tips during repeated sharpening, reducing breakage and keeping the points durable for longer sessions of drawing and outlining.

The matte black barrels provide a high-contrast look that makes color selection easier and enhances the overall aesthetic, while staying comfortable to hold during long drawing sessions.

The wallet contains 12 neon and pastel colors with quick-access organization. The design is carry-ready and opens flat for fast color selection in classes or on the go, so you can grab the shade you need without fuss.

They’re great for posters, journals, crafting, and sketching on dark paper. Use them for vivid accents, highlights on dark backgrounds, and bold color pop in drawings and mixed-media projects.

Sharpen gently with a suitable pencil sharpener to maintain a fine point. If a tip feels prone to breaking, use a sharpener with a softer blade and re-sharpen in short bursts to minimize tip stress.

Faber-Castell products are formulated for safe use and are typically non-toxic, making them suitable for students, hobbyists, and most craft activities. Always supervise younger users and follow product guidelines.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the wallet closed when not in use to protect the tips, and avoid dropping or applying excessive pressure that could cause breakage.

You get a curated mix of neon and pastel shades with supersoft cores designed for vibrant performance on dark paper. The value depends on how often you work with dark backgrounds and blend colors; for projects requiring high-contrast highlights, this set can be cost-effective due to its payoff and durability features.

Build up light layers gradually, using the creamy laydown to blend edges softly. Start with a mid-tone, then add bright neon or pastel accents, and use light pressure to create subtle gradient highlights that stand out against dark backgrounds.
