Handy Tips & Tricks for Using Derwent Drawing Pencils

1. Layer colours to create depth

Build your artwork gradually by applying multiple light layers. The soft core allows colours to blend beautifully while creating realistic depth and dimension.

2. Use earthy tones for realistic textures

Combine different browns, greens, and neutral shades to create natural textures such as wood grain, animal fur, feathers, rocks, and foliage.

3. Blend softly for smooth transitions

Use gentle pressure and overlapping strokes to create seamless colour changes. A blending pencil or soft tissue can help soften transitions further.

4. Experiment with paper texture

A slightly textured paper will capture more pigment and create interesting effects, while smoother paper is ideal for fine details and polished finishes.

5. Keep your pencils sharp for detail

Maintain a sharp point for fine lines, small features, and intricate textures. Use a softer, rounded point for broad shading and blending.

6. Combine with other media

Derwent Drawing Pencils work beautifully alongside graphite, ink, watercolour, and other coloured pencil ranges to create mixed-media effects.
