About this material
Derwent Artists is a colored pencil that the UK pencil maker Derwent has made since 1938. A thick lead sits in a wide, round 8mm barrel. The lead has a slightly waxy feel, which makes layering and blending easy.
There are 120 colors in total. Sets come in metal tins of 12, 24, 36 and 72 colors, and in wooden boxes of 48 and 120 colors. The official Japanese distributor also lists single pencils.
The thick lead covers large areas with ease. For fine detail, Derwent also makes Studio, which has a thinner lead and barrel.
