Our colour pencil sets come in various sizes and styles, so you can pick what matches your budget and skill level. A basic colour pencil box set might have 12 shades for everyday use, while larger options go up to 72 Colours for more variety. We focus on pencils that feel good in your hand and produce even Colours on paper. Plus, with our easy online ordering, you can browse from home and have your new set ready in days.
Why a Quality Colour Pencil Set Makes a Difference
Choosing the right colour pencil box set matters more than you may realise. According to expert guides, coloured pencils range from student-grade to artist-grade, and the quality of the pigment core (wax-based vs oil-based) affects how your work blends and lasts.
When you pick the right drawing colour pencil set, you’ll benefit from:
- richer colour payoff.
- smoother blending and layering.
- stronger light-fastness (less fading).
These features separate a good pencil set from an outstanding one.
