Colored pencils offer several benefits for professional artists. Some of the many reasons why artists love using this medium are:

• They allow you to achieve precision with every stroke.
• With these pencils, both detail and depth can be drawn.
• It’s easy to achieve a light, soft look by pressing down lightly or a strong, bold look by pressing down harder.
• Their size is convenient and easy to transport.
• Colored pencils make it possible to create art nearly anywhere.

Soft colored pencils are the best for blending. Many artists prefer to use wax-based colored pencils because they are creamier and their texture results in easy blending.

When blending colors, it is important to keep your pencils sharp and maintain a light pressure as you apply color to the paper or drawing surface.

Other art supplies you may want to purchase with colored pencil sets include:

• Colored pencil additives – Additives allow you to whiten areas of your drawing, blend colors, or add back tooth.
• Blender pens – Designed to use with wax-based colored pencils to allow for easy color blending.
• Drawing papers – Select the right drawing paper to ensure your artwork looks its best.
• Pencil sharpeners – A handheld pencil sharpener can keep your pencils sharp and performing at their best.
• Erasers – Using an eraser that is meant for pencils containing pigment makes it possible to remove marks easily.
• Lead Holders & Extenders – This handy tool extends your pencils to hold comfortably and get the most out if them.
• Nylon brushes – If you use a solvent like turpenoid to blend colors, you’ll also need a nylon brush to apply it.
• Drafting brush – Using a brush is key to keeping your paper surface free of pencil dust and pieces of pencil pigment.
• Light Boxes & Light Tablets – Capable of showing through media such as papers, artist canvas, and fabrics
