Review: Outstanding pencils - Recently bought 36 set inktense pencils .What to say ...its Outstanding pencils,Superior and distinctive quality than any other watercolor pencils.It's not watercolor it's ink color pencils.Pigments are actually ink based i think.Colors are bold and vibrant even in this 36 color box.May be 72 pencils sets have more colors.Yellows,blues ,greens,oranges all are glowing,another advantage over other watercolor pencils is after wet the colors become dried and permanent ,so we can add other colors over them and make some translucent effects.
Review: Derwent Inktense pencils, I M loving them ☺ - Packaging by Cloudtail: Again like polychromos, this package too arrived with the pencil tin directly added to an desertcart plastic bag. It was dented slightly but since Derwent tins are of better quality, there was zero damage to the pencils. @1799/- , 36 set from Cloudtail was a steal at this price. Pros : (Ref: 'Vada paav' painting ☺) 1) Intense colours after adding water 2) 36 pencil set has a good range of colours , no flesh tones though. Might be possible after mixing individual colors(need to check) 3) Very soft core , laying of colour is very smooth and a little is enough if you will be adding water. 4) Fabric designs are possible since inks are supposed to be dye-based. Tested writing initials on a T-shirt and it worked out okay after washing. Cons: 1) Colour coding on end of the barrel is closer to after adding water and doesn't always match the visible core. Better to create colour swatches with water added to them as reference. 2) Inks are staining so need to be careful with wearable fabrics. Note: Must buy for Art splurging , lol 😊. I might get the inktense block set as well.
