Faber-Castell Polychromos Artists' Colour Pencils are professional-quality coloured pencils with rich, vibrant pigments and a smooth, soft colour laydown. Available in 120 individual colours, they are ideal for detailed drawing, layering, blending and professional artwork.
Faber-Castell Polychromos coloured pencils are designed for professional artists, illustrators and anyone looking for rich colour, precise control and dependable performance. Their soft, smooth colour laydown makes them suitable for detailed drawing, shading, layering and blending across a wide range of artistic styles.
Each pencil uses high-quality acid-free pigments selected for strong colour and excellent lightfastness. The colours are also water-resistant and smudge-proof once applied, helping finished artwork retain its clarity and definition.
Polychromos pencils feature a thick 3.8mm lead that delivers vibrant colour while remaining suitable for controlled, detailed work. Faber-Castell's Secural bonding process firmly bonds the lead to the wooden casing, helping improve break resistance during use and sharpening.
