Royal & Langnickel Essentials drawing set, 26 pieces

Create colour studies, small illustrations and drawing exercises with the Royal & Langnickel Essentials Drawing Artist Pack RD554. It brings pencils, paper and a sharpener together so you can start developing a subject.

What is included?

The 26 pieces are 24 assorted coloured pencils, one sharpener and one 229 × 305 mm drawing pad. The pad counts as one item; this is not a set of 26 pencils. An eraser, graphite pencil and instruction book are not included.

Choosing colours and practising

Make a colour chart on a test sheet using light and firmer pressure. Then choose a few colours for a leaf, object or simple landscape. Use the sharpener when switching between fine details and broader areas of colour.

Layers, hatching and light

Start with light lines and build colour in thin layers. Overlay two colours to practise transitions, or cross your hatching strokes for darker areas. Leave light areas of paper uncovered for highlights. This is a coloured-pencil set for dry drawing, not a watercolour set.

Keep drawing

Keep the pad dry and store pencils with their points protected. For extra colours or another drawing project, explore coloured pencils, drawing materials.
