Question 1

What colors are included in the Faber-Castell Classic Color Pencils 36-set, and do they include metallic shades?

Accepted Answer

The 36-color set provides a wide palette with a mix of standard hues and metallic shades to extend your creative range. This selection supports vibrant landscapes, portraits, signage, and everyday craft projects.

Question 2

What does SV Bonded mean and how does it affect pencil performance?

Accepted Answer

SV Bonded refers to the secure bonding of the graphite core to the wood shaft, which helps keep tips intact and reduces breakage during frequent use, resulting in more reliable performance during long drawing sessions.

Question 3

How do these pencils support blending and shading for smooth gradients?

Accepted Answer

The pencils are designed for creamy layering, enabling soft gradients and subtle shadows. You can build color gradually to achieve realistic depth and dimension in drawings.

Question 4

Is the round tin sturdy and portable for travel or classroom use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The durable round tin resists dings and keeps pencils organized, making it easy to transport to art class, clubs, or travel—while protecting the cores during transport.

Question 5

What kinds of projects are best suited for this 36-color set?

Accepted Answer

This set is well-suited for landscapes, portraits, signage, and kids’ crafts. The expanded hue range helps with skin tones, foliage, highlights, and more nuanced color work.

Question 6

What surfaces or papers work best with these pencils?

Accepted Answer

For optimal results, use smooth to medium-textured paper. Heavier weight paper can handle layering and pressure without tearing, making it good for detailed drawings and color studies.

Question 7

Are these pencils safe for children to use?

Accepted Answer

Faber-Castell pencils are designed with kid-friendly safety in mind and are intended for general everyday use by children. Always supervise younger artists while they work.

Question 8

How should I sharpen and maintain the pencil tips to maximize life span?

Accepted Answer

Use a sharp pencil sharpener and sharpen gradually to keep a fine point. Avoid overly aggressive sharpening, which can cause tip breakage, especially with the slim cores.

Question 9

How does the 36-color set compare to the 24-color round tin available on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

The 36-color set includes more hues for broader palette options and typically adds more skin tones, neutrals, and accents, while the 24-color tin provides a lighter, more portable option. Both use SV Bonded cores and come in round tins, but the 36-color version offers greater color variety for complex works.

Question 10

How does the 36-color set compare to a 12-color mini tin available on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

The 12-color mini tin is more compact and highly portable, ideal for quick sketches or travel, but offers far fewer color options than the 36-color set. If you need a broader palette and more depth for projects, the 36-color set is the better choice.

Question 11

What’s the best way to store these pencils to prevent tip breakage?

Accepted Answer

Keep the pencils inside the round tin when not in use, avoid dropping the tin, and store in a cool, dry place. When drawing, store the pencils with the tips retracted or protected to minimize accidental breaks.

Question 12

What is the return policy for this pencil set if I’m not satisfied?

Accepted Answer

If you’re not satisfied, you can make use of Fepy’s standard return options per their policy. Please refer to the store’s general return guidelines for eligibility and steps.
