Koh-I-Noor Artists' Drawing Pencils
The last set of 2 mm colored lead I received days ago were waxy color pencil like lead. These here are more chalky and what I was hoping for.
Here is a quick chart I did last night. The one thing lacking on this chart is testing how well they erase. One will definitely have to use a fixative to keep these from smearing but love the blending quality.
The Charcoal is super dark and I had a problem being able to achieve a nice value scale. Would definitely save that for when I needed a real dark area applied and using the Gray for the other values.
The White I also struggled achieving a good value scale but I think that was from operator malfunction ...... not what the lead itself will do ;-) I did find when using a tortillon that more rubbed off than actually blended. I need to work with that a bit more to see if that's just the nature of the white or problem with the one using it.
Good to see your post here, Susan. Good job with the color/value chart. Love your variety of sketches and mediums and reviews that you post.
