Full disclosure - I'm not a professional artist so my skills are at a beginner level but I have several artist grade sets of coloured pencils so I think I have a sense of what makes a good pencil. I think my true score would be 4.5 stars as many of these pencils are not lightfast. I didn't think I would like a pencil with a harder core but these are an exception. I don't find them to be that hard actually - they are firm but still have loads of pigment in them and don't bother my slightly arthritic hands. Not like cheap student grade coloured pencils do. I like the size of the pencil. And especially the colours are quite different from my polychromos and Prismacolor. All in all, very happy with my purchase. Just wish I could get open stock in Canada! Pros : Lovely soft colours not found in other sets Ability to blend using light layers A harder core so maintains a point well with almost no breakage Very sturdily made Colours seem more natural than many other sets - good for landscapes, portraits If you purchase the 120 set the wooden box is to die for Reasonable cost Cons Many pencils not lightfast Not as good for colouring books (in my opinion) Review: The range of colours were amazing and I could wait to use them - This box arrived and I was a real big kid opening it. The range of colours were amazing and I could wait to use them. The sea of colours are luscious and you eat to dive in right away. The pencils are in an absolutly beautiful case and the smell that comes from all the wood is so inviting making you want to draw more than you often should. The 2lift out shelves are great but the one at the bottom is hard to see. The pencils are all anchored in, good in one way but a little bit of work when you want to pick a new colour. The pencils are a lovely size/thickness to hold. The end colours on each pencil are not that matching with the tips, but in time I will get to know the colours. Overall it is an expensive investment for this wonderful box of colored pencils and it took a lot of deliberation before I placed the order, but as I am seriously into adult coloring books in the end I did order. I am happy with a large selection of greens and blues as I truly believe that manufactures of colored pencils should produce larger selections like greens for lots of garden and woodland coloring books alone as well as blues and aqua's for the sea coloring books. This truly a missed avenue as every selection has smaller aray of these colours due to having all the other colours to incorporate. So a woodland green selection and a marine selection would be most welcomed. ## Features - Versatile, professional quality colouring pencils in a wide range of colours; perfect for professional artists and amateurs of all ages - Artists range - Derwent’s original coloured pencil with a hard core; ideal for detailed work thanks to strong and long-lasting point; slightly waxy texture for easy blending, layering and shading - Use with Derwent Sketching Paper as the white slightly textured surface is perfect for pencil work - Attractive tin with removable lid for easy access to pencils without taking up space on your desk - Contents: 1 x Set of 36 Derwent Artists colouring pencils, Colour names and numbers embossed in gold, Easy-to-grip round barrels fit standard pencil sharpeners ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000P6YNGQ | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Age range (description) | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | 45,158 in Stationery & Office Supplies ( See Top 100 in Stationery & Office Supplies ) 250 in Coloured Pencils for Adults | | Body Shape | Cylindrical | | Brand | Derwent | | Brand Name | Derwent | | Colour | Multi-Colour | | Country Of Origin | United Kingdom | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,397 Reviews | | Drill Point | wide | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05010255830630 | | Grip Type | Smooth | | Included Components | 36 Colored Pencils, Metal Tin | | Ink Base | Water | | Ink Colour | Black | | Ink colour | Black | | Is the Product Left or Right Handed? | Ambidextrous | | Item Diameter | 4 Millimetres | | Item Dimensions | 35.2 x 1.4 x 19.8 centimetres | | Item Weight | 0.6 Kilograms | | Line Size | 0_7mm | | Manufacturer | Derwent | | Material | Wood | | Material Type | Wood | | Model Name | Derwent Artists | | Model Number | 32096 | | Pattern | Single | | Recommended Uses For Product | Colouring, Drawing, Sketching | | Special Features | Erasable | | Style | Classic | | Theme | artistic_expression | | UPC | 046919893821 785525716932 | | Unit Count | 36.0 count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Writing Instrument Form | Colored Pencil | | Writing Technique | pencil lead | | Writing instrument form | Colored Pencil | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Adult - **Brand:** Derwent - **Colour:** Multi-Colour - **Ink colour:** Black - **Material:** Wood - **Model name:** Derwent Artists - **Point type:** wide - **Special feature:** Erasable - **Unit count:** 36.0 count - **Writing instrument form:** Colored Pencil ## Images ![Derwent Artists Colouring Pencils, Drawing & Colouring, Set Of 36, Ideal For Layering & Blending, Professional Quality, 32096 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91HYBloFjHL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely colours in a well made Pencil *by Y***L on 12 May 2017* I purchased these pencils after doing a fair amount of research on them.

They are known for being soft and easily blendable, which is why I keep using them and buying them, time after time. As for this set, I've been wanting this one for a while, and having finally got hold of them, they do not disappoint. Colours go on easily, blend well and lend themselves to a wide variety of techniques. Nobody in their right mind would buy a set like this for use in a colouring book, and if that's what you're after, stick with something like Crayola. If, however, you are doing some serious work, these are the ones for you. They apply well on even very smooth paper, such as standard copier/printer stock, but really come into their own on something with a bit of "tooth", such as good quality drawing paper or cartridge. Don't sharpen them with an electric sharpener, either. You'll chew up the ends and get a point that breaks easily. Better use an old fashioned hand sharpener, or better yet, a craft knife and sanding block. ## Frequently Bought Together - Derwent Artists Colouring Colour Pencils Tin, Drawing & Colouring, Ideal for Layering & Blending, Wax-Based, Professional Quality, 32096 - (Set of 36) - Derwent Academy Watercolour Pencils Tin (Set of 24), Multi-Coloured, Multi --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/50401561-derwent-artists-colouring-pencils-drawing-and-colouring-set-of-36](https://www.desertcart.us/products/50401561-derwent-artists-colouring-pencils-drawing-and-colouring-set-of-36) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-08*
