• This is one of the best set of Derwent coloring pencils. Its soft core allows for mixing and blending colors. It is like having a chalk pastel in pencil form. They have beautiful hues and the barrels make griping them rather easy. 
• The name illustrates rather well the soft textures, that brings to life all the colors you see in nature. It does not take much to color in pictures. Makes it perfect for coloring books, as well more serious projects like fashion illustrations. They also work well for sketching landscapes and still life drawings. 
• The metal tin box protects these coloring pencils from falling down damage. They can also be used on other pencils once they get used up.

Details: This box of coloring pencils is one of the oldest sets of pencils I own. I have worn down the black pencil to an almost unusable size. Needless to say, I have made great use of these coloring pencils. As of now, I use them for my... let's say fashion drawings. I was originally practicing drawing in color. I would pick out a cute historical outfit and them attempt to recreated it with pen and coloring pencils. It has grown into something of a collection. It is all thanks to these wonderful pencils that speed up the drawing process. They are also non toxic, which makes them safe for people who eat coloring pencils. On a serious note, please don't eat your Derwent coloring pencils.
