Not well made--splits lengthwise

By art teacher

from Ruston, LA

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Derwent Graphitint Pencils:

The quality and durability of Derwent Graphitint soluble pencils is very disappointing. They split easily lengthwise and once split, they are not usable. We've tried hand sharpening them and sharpening with an electric pencil sharpener. I would not suggest these for anyone.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

These are Great!

By Elias Elrod

from Piedmont, SC

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Derwent Graphitint Pencils:

I really like the effects of these pencils on the paper. They dissolve easily with water and can be worked around on the paper well. I use them with watercolors and that works well too. I have read some criticism concerning their lightfastness, but right now I am just enjoying their look.

Subtle and Bold Tints

By Pam E.

from Florida

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Derwent Graphitint Pencils:

If you like to draw and paint these are really fun and give nice results. I love to draw with them dry and then take a wet brush to blend like I'm painting. They are very water-soluble and give excellent coverage. I was very surprised. I love the colors as they are not bright gimmicky colors. Good for night scenes, forests, rainy scenes which I find hard to do with most water color pencils because the colors are not deep and rich enough. I just wish they made more colors.

Graphitint-precision color

By Kurt of Silvereagle Fine Art Production

from South Ponte Vedra Beach, FL

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Derwent Graphitint Pencils:

These pencils apply smooth with characteristics of fine soluble graphite. Clean, well controlled lines with just a hint of color for added depth. Application of water makes the colors really pop, but the retention of line is stronger than with the metallics or watercolor pencils. Derwent is the only company offering this type of pencil that I know of, well worth the price for a unique experience.

Comments about Derwent Graphitint Pencils:

These pencils are really quite cool. They are similar to watercolor pencils, but instead have a very earthy look and feel to them. They go on smooth and are of a high quality. Very nice, interesting, and unique new product!

It's impossible to compare these pencils because there are no other similar ones. Difficult to use at the beginning, very interesting, very rewarding.

These are so soft and subtle. I use them with water to get muted colors that are absolutely gorgeous! Love the fact that Derwent sharpens all their pencils before you get them. Good choice of colors. I love all Derwent pencils.
