The Best Pencils for Artists
Artists’ pencils can get a bit technical and it’s usually a case of ‘Derwent vs Faber-Castell’ or sometimes ‘Derwent vs Staedtler’, but there are a few top-rated brands that everyone should know about.branded pencil Derwent have long been a leading name in British artists’ pencils and the company originated from the Borrowdale mine in Cumbria where graphite was first discovered. Their wood-casing pencils are super dark, soft and durable with the grade printed in tiny lettering on the end. One thing that could be better is for the pencils to have a slightly different colour base to make it easier to identify which grade you’re using, but otherwise this is a great set of pencils.
Caran d’Ache
A Swiss luxury goods manufacturer, Caran d’Ache have produced pencils since 1915 and the iconic brand is known for its high quality.branded pencil Originally named Fabrique Genevoise de Crayons, the company still produces its products in Geneva and the pencils are hand-assembled from raw materials. The pencils are dark and smooth, with gold lettering over black lacquer on the case. The only slight downside is that the grade of the pencil is only printed on the end in very tiny letters, so if you forget to put them back with the lettering facing up it can be hard to tell which pencil you have.
Blick Pencils
Blick produce their own in-house sets of colored pencils and, although they aren’t the cheapest available, the combination of performance and build quality makes them worth the money.branded pencil The tins are beautiful too and the pencils have the added advantage of a protective clear plastic covering that adds an extra level of durability to the lead. The only slight negative is that, unlike most other coloured pencils on the market, these do not come with a built in sharpener so it’s a good idea to buy a separate electric or manual sharpener.
The pencils are also available in a variety of thicknesses to suit different needs and they’re suitable for all types of art work including drawing, painting, and watercolours. There’s even a set of mood pencils that change color as you draw or write, which are very cool. It’s a combination of the right temperature and leuco dyes that cause the magic to happen!
