Colored pencils are one of the necessary tools for painting lovers, but there are various brands and types of colored pencils on the market, how do choose the color pencils that suit you? Here are some tips for buying colored pencils.
First, consider your needs and uses. Different colored pencils are suitable for different drawing styles and techniques. For example, colored pencils with soft cores are good for soft gradations and detailing, while colored pencils with hard cores are good for sharp lines and strong color contrasts. Therefore, before buying colored pencils, you must first determine your own painting style and skills, and choose the colored pencils that suit you.
If you are a beginner or just for coloring, you can choose student-grade colored pencils that are more affordable. If you are a professional painter or need to do difficult paintings, you can choose professional-grade colored pencils.
Second, consider the quality of your colored pencils. Good colored pencils are of good quality, have high color saturation, are not easy to break the core, and have a long service life. Inferior colored pencils are light in color, easy to break the core and have a short service life. Therefore, when buying colored pencils, choose good-quality brands, such as Baile and Shidelou.
Again, consider the color type and quantity of colored pencils. Different colored pencil brands and series have different types and quantities of colors. In general, the greater the variety of colors, the more options, and creativity you can paint. However, too many types and quantities of colors will also increase the difficulty and cost of use. Therefore, when purchasing colored pencils, you should choose the color type and quantity that suit you according to your needs and budget.
Finally, there is the price of colored pencils to consider. Good colored pencils cost more but are also better in quality and longevity. Inferior colored pencils are less expensive, but their quality and service life are also poor. Therefore, when purchasing colored pencils, choose the brand and series that suit you according to your budget.
In short, choosing a colored pencil that suits your needs to consider many factors, including your own needs and uses, the color and quality of the colored pencil, hardness, and softness, price and brand, etc. I hope the techniques introduced above can help you choose the colored pencils that suit you, and make the road of paint smoother.
