About this material
Cray-Pas Futomaki is the thick version of Cray-Pas, the oil pastel made by Sakura. Cray-Pas mixes the qualities of crayons and pastels. It is soft and spreads easily, so large areas are easy to fill. Each Futomaki stick is 11 mm across and resists breaking. You can use it to fill areas and to draw lines.
Sets come in 12, 16, 20, 24, and 50 colors. Single sticks are also sold, so you can replace only the colors that run low.
The softness is even from stick to stick, so colors can be mixed and layered on the paper. You can blend with a finger. You can also use scratch art: layer colors, then scrape the top layer to show the color underneath.
