The Sketcher Non-Photo Blue Pencil is an erasable artists' pencil used by artists, film animators, illustrators, and graphic designers to make rough sketches. When the sketch is filled in with ink or pencil and then photocopied or scanned, the blue color doesn't appear.

Enhance details or highlights and create unusual effects in a print. This set includes 14 assorted pencils, one 1/2 oz bottle of P.M.S. solution (for thinning), and cotton balls and a toothpick for blending.

Non-photo blue is a common tool used in the graphic design and print industry. It is a particular shade of blue that can not be detected by Graphic Arts Cameras or copiers. Artists can lay down sketch lines without the need to erase after inking.
