This set includes 12 colored pencils in a variety of hues, giving artists plenty of options for creative projects. The pencils come pre-sharpened so they're ready to use immediately without any setup. They feature sturdy barrels that feel comfortable to hold and won't easily crack or splinter during use. The strong cores resist breaking, even when applying firm pressure, while delivering smooth, consistent color. The pigments produce vivid, saturated colors that show up clearly on paper.
