Derwent Artist Pencils are made from California incense cedar wood, and contain an extra wide 4.0 mm strip with excellent point strength. The traditional round barrel allows for easy movement and loose, expressive drawing. The strip of lead is designed to not crumble and last over time. These pencils are 4.0 mm in size, which lets you draw in fine points and shade in thick lines. They come in a protective tin so you can take them on the go. The round barrel is made from a comfortable and strong cedar wood. The strip of lead will not crumble, and the colour will never fade. There are 12 pencils in this pack.
