A hundred and fifty soft core colours intended for finished work rather than practice. A soft, waxy core lays colour down smoothly and burnishes to a near-solid surface, which is what makes this type of pencil the usual choice for detailed illustration. A hundred and fifty colours also removes the need to mix on the page for most subjects, which matters when a finished illustration has to look consistent across several sittings.

Care & Use
Soft cores are fragile: never store these loose in a bag. Wax-based colour can develop a faint white bloom on the surface after a few weeks — a light wipe with a soft cloth removes it, and a fixative spray prevents it returning. Sharpen with a sharp blade.
