Questions & Answers

What do these pencils have in common with ?

pencils, but the Inktense are actual "ink", which means that once they have dried, they remain permanent, unlike water soluble watercolor types like Prisma, which fade depending on how much you work them. Unlike most other inks, Inktense will behave the same after drying It will be impossible to blend or lift that blue you poured on top of the yellow. Therefore, it may remain very blue looking, or appear green where the blue appears through it. Also, Inktense are brighter and have a higher intensity. Purchase both, and use watercolor pencils where you want a softer look and inktense pencils where you want a more intense look.

What if I want to color the pictures? The majority of my coloring books are done by Dover or stained glass artists. ?

With no water added to the Derwent Inktense Pencils, they will perform like professional grade colored pencils, providing rich, smooth colors that are easy to apply. With a wet brush, you can manipulate the color on the page, and you can dip the tip of the pencil in water to enrich the color further. The pencils should work very well if the pages of your coloring book are heavy and thick. Using water with these pencils may cause the sheets to buckle or curl if the sheet is lightweight.

Is there a tin with 12 colors in it? My concern is that these might be all repeats. (I purchased a few individually. ?

There are quite a few colors to choose from here. The purpose of buying them was to create fabric out of them.

What colors are available in Inktense skin tones, or do they need to be purchased through ?

Skin tones are not labeled by color, but if you use a combination of sicilian yellow, carmine pink, antique white, and some oranges, you can achieve a really nice complexion. Before you use this technique on a painting, you should try practicing on a sheet. It's not my first time using Coloursoft, but I like the Inktense colors.

Selected User Reviews For Derwent Colored Pencils, Inktense Ink Pencils, Drawing, Art, Pack, 6 Count (0700927)

The road to a holy awakening begins with despair! In order to set this review up, I must state that I am NOT an artist (beyond any stretch of the imagination) and I have never written an Amazon review before
5/5

As for my creative credentials, they consist of an almost lifelong habit of picking up a thousand hobbies, all of which I am good at but none of which I have As a way of speaking, this is an artistic version of ADD (no offense meant to those who suffer Nevertheless, I suffer from the so-called "perfectionist" disorder and have an extremely analytical mind. This is why I have never been truly proficient in any type of art. After attempting something for a while, taking a lesson or two, getting sorta good, getting bored with my lack of progress, I move on to something else, and put the supplies/equipment/fabric/whatever in a closet to collect dust for a There's a chance I'll need to move to (But give me a huge spreadsheet and I'll do the miraculous. Colored with cheap and easily available Crayola colored pencils, the first picture was colored. I like these colors, but they are not very vibrant, not all that blendable, and do not have enough color variation to be very enjoyable (the primary goal of my My next page began with some decades old colored pens, lacking half of them (most of the best colors on the second page were gone), as well as some I went on a quest for more rewarding colored pencils about that time. For example, it is difficult to sharpen, or it is not centered). My final choice of the Derwent Inktense collection of 72 pencils was the result of several days of near analysis paralysis. It took five hours for my Amazon Prime package to arrive (a whole day with the service). I was so elated I could barely handle the wait. Even though it wasn't my bedtime, I broke out those puppies and created two or three flowers on my otherwise rather dull second How is it to give a first I can tell you that I am not titillated. There was a sudden feeling of weakness in my chest, like the light, maybe tired eyes, or maybe the wine. (Not the wine. Okay, maybe it was It's best to wait until the took me five minutes for my first negative Amazon review to appear in my head when I started my new day fresh. It was also a little waxy with spotty coverage, even with a heavy hand. Really, it was like using kindergarten crayons in a pencil case. How many bucks do you want for $70+? Are you sure? Under the ink, you could still see the white of the paper. The lead held up under the pressure, which was good. Fine lines and small portions of the paper would not stay sharp with the pencil. Colored pencils, with the exception of those that are extremely soft, are usually kind of self-adjusting You can sharpen your lead by merely changing the angle. Then these aren't for you. It seemed that the colors in the picture looked vivid, and I would have blended them well, but the color didn't spread smoothly and evenly There were lots of blotches on the skin. It was a bit of a mystery to me as I looked at all the five star reviews and wondered what all of the Do all the reviews seem to have been paid? DING, DING, DING. . . I remembered reading that these were WATER color pencils, out of nowhere. Having no artist brushes, I used a makeup sponge to clean up the mess To test out what my crayon pencil ink would look like when I added a bit of water, I brought out my up brush (lol, you heard it right). I completely freaked out when I learned what had happened. You have blown me It just jumped off the page with its vibrant colors. My favorite parts of mixing were layering colors, adding color, removing color, and blending them all at once. It seems too much to expect that you would remove one color to lighten one area in order to add a (afterthought) brighter color. It's a done deal for me. The pencils I received are so beautiful, I may just spend the REST of my life making "art" that I will proudly display on my refrigerator. I have not colored in a coloring book since I was a child and I have never done a water color.
The pencils are available in 72 different colors and come packaged in their own durable boxes.
All lead is perfectly centered. The blades can easily be sharpened by hand or by Unlike water colors, they are not easy to erase (I assume a real watercolor cannot be erased). These pencils are incredibly well-designed and have both color names and numbers, allowing you to really wear the pencil down to the nub and still know what color it is to replace it with. Two trays are contained in a container made of tin. Due to the lack of a lid on the tray, you would need to carry it and store it carefully or use a rubber band to secure I have added photos of the pencils and the lead, as well as my second colored illustration. My previous colored pens and pencils are mixed together to create the pink and purple flowers. I received a brand new set of colored pens the same day that had the bell flowers. This is Derwent Inktense after it has been diluted with Remember, I am not an artist, I am a complete noob to adult coloring books. (And, btw, can we not come up with a name for this hobby that doesn't sound offensive. Do you rate? This old product was in the cupboard), and I was using an old make of An up brush that kept splitting into a TRECORD shape (waiting eagerly for real water color brushes to arrive). It doesn't matter how skilled I am, or how little I am, I think the colors are brilliant and it is only my own imagination that will limit what I can do with all these colors and combinations. I say, "Hallelujah!" Maybe I'll stick to just one hobby for a while (no promises! Thanks to one of my last remaining brain cells I realized these were truly water color pencils. And thanks to Derwent for bringing this product to market!.

Keeping a color chart handy
5/5

The Derwent Inktense 36 pencil set arrived in perfect shape. In response to the reviewers' suggestions, I immediately marked the tray with the number and color name of each pencil in its slot, to make it easier for me to keep track of them. In the next step, I sketched charts showing how each pencil stroke looks in dry and wet samples (thanks to Mary Ingold for the tip). There are some places on paper where the color of the pencil does not match the color of the point Using a pencil, you can see the green hue of Sherbet Lemon, Mustard, and Tan. When wet, some dark pencil points, such as Sea Blue and Teal Green, look brilliant. The cooler shades of charcoal grey and Indian Ink are cooler than the cooler shades of ink black. In order to cut out pages from a hardbound Pentalic Sketchbook, since the pages were white and smooth, I used a Pentalic Sketch Book. A small amount of water, however, was enough to buckle the paper. In order to achieve the best result, I dampened rather than flooded the pencil marks with a water brush purchased from Amazon. It was easy and smooth to spread the colors. Do not use all-white paper, but instead use heavy-weight paper Using sketchbooks to create artwork is a good idea.

As an Outline pencil is not a watercolor pencil, the addition of water will not alter it. Nevertheless, it is possible for it to smear when colored with other dry pencil marks in the vicinity (as in my picture of the duck's face). For small areas, it would be better to apply color as a wash and then follow up with a wet brush or dry pencil.

During the process of photographing the pencils, I ran into trouble with the round barrels causing the pencils to roll whenever the charts were incline. My last step was to place them on the carpet to keep The use of a small washcloth or piece of fabric might help to prevent pencils from rolling or falling. They are a great combination of both worlds - they offer the best of both worlds. In the photos, the colors may not be as saturated as they appear in person due to lighting. I'll post my charts, although the colors may not be as vibrant as they appear in person.

I'm in love with It is a pleasure to hold and use these It is a good idea to make yourself a color chart (like the attached chart), as the colors that come out of these pencils are too beautiful and vibrant to be adequately represented by the color guide suggestion on the back

These pencils are awesome
5/5

The pencils are amazing! I'm so pleased with them! The first few times you use them will be a bit confusing, but once you master them, things will be great! My adult coloring book pages don't get stained with ink because the ink dries permanently! I was also pleased with their arrival. There are more green cards in this set that I could purchase in open stock, but I don't need as many as this set. You can see the first picture I colored with them in the attachment below. The video on youtube provided me with all the information I needed.
