Sketching & Drawing

Wow! Graphite and colour in one pencil, how surprising is that? Graphitint is a unique range of tinted graphite that combines the drama and creativity of pencil drawings with a hint of soft, subtle colour.

 

Used dry Graphitint produces just a suggestion of colour but add water to wash out the lines and make the colour much more vibrant.

Sketching is all about being loose, free and easy and Derwent Sketching pencils couldn’t be easier to use; just 3 simple degrees HB, 2B and 4B, to cover all your drawing needs.

 

They have a wide strip so you can quickly rough-out a loose sketch, or capture a passing cloud before it disappears! Once you’ve done that you can sharpen your pencil to a fine point to add the all important detail to your drawing!

Feeling moody? Look no further, Derwent Onyx is our blackest graphite pencil, even darker than a 9B!

 

Great on its own for drawing really moody pictures or use it with other graphite media like Graphic or Sketching pencils to add dense shade and tone.

 

We have created two tones, medium and dark, but it is easy to build up darker shades if you need them by increasing the pressure. The wide strip can be easily sharpened and will hold a fine point, perfect for capturing the detail in drawings!
