Product Information

You can work around this by picking up Qian Shan’s Skin Tones colored pencils that are also oil-based.

Colours: This art set features 48 vibrant colours in an incredible range, including a white pencil and skin tone colored pencils. Throughout the years, I have always presented to students five keys to using colored pencils most effectively. If you love oil-based media, then these pencils are a must-have – they help you achieve the colour quality as well as the blending that is so desirable in this medium. They’re a great choice for beginners and students because you can still make quality art without spending a lot. If you’ve found anything on this site especially useful, you can make a donation to me through PayPal.They sharpen beautifully without the need for an expensive sharpener (I currently use a Lego one from a kids’ stationery set) and have had very few problems with breakages or not being able to get a proper point. Since they’re oil-based, you don’t have to worry about wax blooms (white, cloudy wax that evaporates to the surface from wax-based colored pencils). In other words, there isn’t a perfect brand for adult coloring books compared to traditional drawing. Unfortunately this is were I have the issue and as with the markers, it is purely due to the fact I enjoyed the pencils and would like to see more of a range.

Everything I’ve read online says that they’re oil-based and they feel oil-based as there’s no wax bloom and they’re easier to blend than wax-based pencils. This review is from a beginner’s perspective and the colouring I’ve done has been based on learning techniques from YouTube tutorials which are linked below. Coloured pencil drawings can take time to complete if you are trying to achieve more realistic effects.Despite there not being a huge number of oil-based colored pencils on the market, there are still enough to be able to categorize the best from the worst. Unlike some wax-based pencils, these don’t leave dust behind so you don’t have to worry about making a mess. Artists illustrators, students and hobbyists will all benefit from using oil pencils for their artwork. Colorless Blender – A colorless blender is either a wax-based pencil absent of pigment or a marker that thins the pigment.

It covers pretty much all of the colors you can think of, including skin tones and browns that some sets lack. They’ve managed to make decent substitutes for the Cadmium Reds and Oranges, but the yellows are as pale as flat Lemonade. The black and white pencils in the Art-n-Fly 48 oil-based coloured pencils set have the worst wax bloom.For example, if we need a green for that grassy field, it may be better to layer yellows over blues to create a variety of greens. I use them for professional art/illustration and not for adult colouring books but imagine that they would also be very good for that use depending on the quality of the paper. The Art-n-Fly 48 oil-based coloured pencils set comes in a pretty strong cardboard cylinder package.
