“Despite the rusty tin, cracking exterior paint, and a missing 8B, the pencils' cores are still in excellent condition. No breaking at all and they perfectly served their purpose in drawing. I'm totally impressed.” Thanks for sharing your old find, ‘arinarinarts’ on IG.

For many of us, our mothers made us first pick up a pencil and explore that artistic side of ourselves (on top of everything else they do for us even as we’ve grown up!) Here’s wishing a Happy Mothers Day to them! 💖

“Having a pen that is water soluble when wet and then permanent when dry is perfect for creating layered work with expressive marks and then increasing detail as I work.” Agreed, @carnegriffiths 🙌

Using the Procolour pencils and love them to bits great quality and will be recommending them to other colourists that follow me on my blog and page @[1476824819076718:Colorist29].

Quality and above quality products I have the most of in my box!

Order arrived fast ,one item was wrong (paper size) free gift was missing emailed and they sorted out replacement in the post the same day arrived fast all items there and the machanical pencil is the best I've ever used ! A* will definitely be ordering again � loving my new graphitint pencils too

I use the entire product line a lot. the pastels especially seem incredible to me. Everything of high quality

I love these pencils! Very good rich colors and they last a long time. The colors do not break or crack inside the pencil. I am a fan for life!

I love the range of Derwent Graphic and Onyx pencils you have. I use these on all my drawings, from 5H to 9B plus the dark Onyx. They are perfect at getting just the right shade and blend beautifully with your blenders. You can see my work @AmandaMcIntyreArt

I have the inktense pencils and I love, love, love them. Today I bought the procolour! Have high hopes for them �

Having used all the ranges (favourite being inktense) I have nothing but praise for the products. Never had any issue with any of the pencils breaking etc, so a bit shocked to see comments about Pencils completely fracturing. As I use mostly for nature and art journaling, I always fix my finished page afterwards so for me the lightfast is not an issue, but I am curiously looking forward to the new lightfast range being released. Keep up the innovative good work �

Have used Derwent since I was a kid! They have always been amazing quality and have helped me achieve what're I want to do art/ Colouring Wise.



Have never had an issue or problem with them and have recently been in touch with Derwent and now get to review some of there products on my YouTube channel and Facebook group for Colouring and my own artwork and am so excited and happy!



My mum grew up on these pencils and as a result she got them for me and my brothers and sisters as kids and I am sure I will get them for my kids too :) which will be a third generation of kids using these pencils in our family.



Thanks for the amazing opportunity Derwent and I would highly recommend them as there products have never let me down in the past and never will in the future! I am sure of it.



I can't recommend this product highly enough

Fantastic pencils with the Procolour range proving to be a superb, top of the bill for the most desirable pencils to use.

Derwent are a really innovative company when it comes to the creation of brand new USABLE AND UESFUL non gimmick art products. A lot of thought goes into the creation and then release of their various art brands with high end products on the marketplace.



With the company introducing exciting new products such as Derwent Inktense and XL Blocks these welcome additions for todays contemporary and expressive artists (like myself) are ideal for creating visually stimulating outcomes on all sorts of different supports. Thank you Derwent!

Derwent Pencils are Great Tool for artist. Mid you using them for 6 years (studio Penclies) and others for at lest 1 year (I think) the Colours are great.Due to there Cost (36 tin is about $100 Austiralia Regular Price,So sale price is Depends But if you 36 tin for lest than $60 get it and you have got bragin) Refls are 6 of one colour in a box, which go for $20 a box I have never Bought second Box in time using it) in short great Gift for artist.

Blown away by the quality. I am just using them for colouring in, but I ended up getting this high-quality colouring in book, and well I needed to get some skin tone pencils. I am not that adept, but I wanted to use good quality products, which made me focus and concentrate more to try and put out good quality work. Well, those pencils are fantastic. Highly recommend the skin-tone kit.

Best relationship with the artist community ! I was shocked to read a poor rating on customer service below as Neither I nor any of my artist friends have ever had anything but quick,intelligent,respectful correspondence with Derwent, so sorry that person had a bad experience as it is not the norm in my opinion.

A pencil for every occasion. Fabulous colours. A myriad of uses. I take my smaller tins with me everywhere, and the big collections are always on my drawing table. Really lovely quality.

Many products but so many colours with serious lightfastness issues. and i generally use currently few more unque hues of their range. And hard wait what kind hues are available in when new Lightfast range comes.

Worst ever...I paid a good price for coloursoft skintones pencils...the sharpener in the set won't work...other sharpeners eat the pencil up

Worst customer service experience I’ve ever had. Bought a 72 set of their inktense pencils, which are wonderful, but got a duplicate and was missing a color. Sent a message through the “contact us” on their website, waited 72 hours and no reply. Sent a second message and we’re at the 24 hour mark now with no reply. I understand that mistakes happen in packaging but don’t leave your customers hanging.

Recently had to replace a few colors of Derwent pastel pencils that had been worn down from an old boxed set I have. Apparently, they have been reformulated and released with different numbers. First trying to order the colors I needed to replace was not easy and secondly, since the reformulation, they are a much harder pastel pencil. While the old ones gave me, buttery smooth, soft strokes of color on the velvet paper and velvet matboard that I do my commissions on, the new formulation is nearly unusable with the black being way too hard to use on velvet now. I am very disappointed. I will now need to find another brand of pastel pencil that will be able to meet my requirements. Very disappointed in the reformulation of the pastel pencils.
