BUYING GUIDE
For artists who specialize in colored pencil art, having a set of artist-grade colored pencils is essential. These pencils offer superior pigmentation, blendability, and durability compared to their student-grade counterparts, making them ideal for creating professional-quality artwork. Whether you are a seasoned artist or an aspiring one, the right colored pencils can significantly enhance your creative process. However, with a multitude of brands and varieties available in the market, each boasting different features and specialties, choosing the right set can be overwhelming. This guide is designed to help you navigate through the key factors to consider when selecting artist-grade colored pencils, ensuring you pick a set that complements your artistic style and enriches your drawing experience.
1. Quality of Pigmentation:
Artist-grade pencils typically offer high pigmentation, which results in rich, vibrant colors. Look for pencils that provide consistent color payoff and depth.
2. Color Range:
A wide range of colors allows for more flexibility and nuance in your work. Consider sets with a broad spectrum of hues, including various shades of each primary color.
3. Blendability:
One of the key features of high-quality colored pencils is their ability to blend smoothly. This is crucial for creating gradients, shadows, and depth in your artwork.
4. Durability and Break Resistance:
The lead should be durable and resistant to breaking, which is particularly important when sharpening to a fine point for detailed work.
5. Lightfastness:
Artist-grade pencils usually have excellent lightfastness, meaning the colors don’t fade over time when exposed to light. This is crucial for artwork that will be displayed.
6. Type of Lead:
- Wax-Based: Known for their smooth application and blending capabilities.
- Oil-Based: Tend to have harder leads and offer sharp, precise lines.
7. Pencil Barrel:
The shape and comfort of the pencil barrel can affect your grip and overall comfort during long drawing sessions. Hexagonal or rounded shapes are common.
8. Price Range:
Artist-grade colored pencils can be expensive, but investing in a high-quality set can be more cost-effective in the long run due to their longevity and quality of pigment.
9. Brand Reputation:
Opt for brands with a strong reputation in the art community for producing high-quality colored pencils. Renowned brands often guarantee consistency and quality in their products.
10. Environmental Considerations:
If sustainability is important to you, look for brands that use environmentally friendly materials and sustainable practices.
11. Reviews and Recommendations:
Reading reviews and seeking recommendations from other artists can provide valuable insights into how the pencils perform in real-world scenarios.
By considering these factors, you can choose artist-grade colored pencils that not only suit your specific needs and preferences but also enhance the vibrancy, precision, and overall quality of your artwork.
