The Perfect Mix of a Coloured Pencil and a Pastel
Derwent Coloursoft pencils are soft, smooth, and velvety dry coloured pencils.
They have a bit of a bite against paper, like pastels or graphite, infused with the smoothness of a coloured pencil. Richly pigmented, they can be mixed and blended to create an infinite spectrum of colours.
They’re comfortable in hand and produce thick soft lines and are ideal for a wide range of drawing styles, from bold contemporary still life to portraiture and more detailed work like fashion illustration and landscapes.
The hard 4mm core allows for a crisper edge and better control, which produces better results than most other lines. The pencil glides smoothly over a wide variety of drawing surfaces. Due to their softness you’ll be able to work much faster.

Created in Three Ways:
- Blocking — Use the side of the pencil to lay down solid blocks of intense colour.
- Burnishing — Rub a white pencil across existing layers of colour to blend them further and create precise highlights.
- Blending — Lay any number of colours on top of each other to create rich, deep tones.
