Review: Once you go Derwent, there’s no going back! - I’ve been a loyal customer of Derwent for many years. Honestly, they’re some of the best drawing pencils you can buy that aren’t crazy priced. I will always recommend these pencils to any new or experienced artists that are looking for some high quality essentials.. including the colour ranges Derwent also produce! Ive got sets of Derwents that have lasted for years, and the colours, and pencil letters that I use most often and are merely little nubs - you can purchase singular pencils of your choice via the Derwent website, other artist retailers OR you can head directly to the Derwent Museum in Cumbria, and pick them up in their shop (worth the trip if you’re based in the UK, the views are stunning).. meaning you don’t have to buy a new set of pencils every few months for that ONE colour/ shade!! I do recommend buying a good quality sharpener for the pencils, as the graphite can damage easily when used with a cheap sharpener that likes to chew your pencils. Also.. try not to drop them.. they can break inside the pencil, meaning it’s a PAIN to sharpen and will always snap. But I’ve found over the years to keep them out of the tin and put them in an actual pencil case with a bunch of other pencils, as the vibrations that occurs on impact is softened when together and in a soft case (physics stuff innit). But honestly, they are the smoothest pencils I’ve ever used and I cannot fault the consistent quality of Derwent!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ derwent pencil set
*by S***I on 9 September 2025*

Pencils are good have enjoyed drawing with them. The downside is the wood is soft and chunks can come off when sharpening, leaving an uneven finish around the lead. Make sure you have a sharp sharpener.
