You may have heard the proverb, “a bad workman blames his tools”, which suggests it is the workman who lacks skills.<\/p>\n

However, a talented artist could legitimately blame their tools for an unsatisfactory output if they had chosen them without due care and attention.<\/p>\n

In other words, it is worth spending some time selecting the best artist drawing pencils \u2014 as any artist can only be as good as their tools.<\/p>\n

When you are new to pencil drawing, the choice of pencils available<\/a> is abundant, yet it can feel overwhelming.<\/p>\n

Some beginners grab any old pencil, not understanding the difference a quality drawing implement can make to their work. Others get bogged down by the choice on offer and make the wrong decision.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s explore some of the best artist pencils<\/a> for drawing and colouring, and also find out how to choose the right ones for your particular project.<\/p>\n

The best artist sketching and drawing pencils<\/h2>\n

If you are keen to give sketching a go, you’ll need to explore artists\u2019 drawing pencils.<\/p>\n

Wooden pencils<\/a> are often favoured for drawing (as opposed to mechanical pencils<\/a>). However, there are still decisions to be made, such as which lead grade to opt for and what brand to choose.<\/p>\n

We wrote a guide to pencil lead grades<\/a> on the blog, which details all pencils. As we are discussing pencils for artists in particular here, you\u2019ll find more details below.<\/p>\n

Essential artist pencils<\/h3>\n

If you were to buy just three pencils for drawing, then you\u2019d do well to grab an H, a 2B, and a 6B. These will provide you with a light, hard pencil, a medium pencil, and a dark, soft pencil.<\/p>\n

A 2B pencil is an excellent option for beginners and experienced artists, as this pencil can be used to sketch out a plan, tone and shade.<\/p>\n

Schools choose the 2B pencil for their art students for good reason. It’s an incredible all-rounder due to its position in the middle of the lead scale, offering medium levels of softness\/hardness and lightness\/darkness.<\/p>\n

Pressure (or lack of) during use can make the 2B veer to one end of these spectrums more than the other.<\/p>\n

An H pencil is ideal for lightly coloured yet precise and sharp lines, making it a great pencil for artists and a must-have for anyone working on technical or precision drawings.<\/p>\n

Likewise, if you need to sketch out a plan for a watercolour piece or wish to ink your lines afterwards, then an H is perfect.<\/p>\n

At the opposite end of the spectrum, a 6B pencil is ideal for adding darker shading, which can bring a drawing to life. The softness of the lead delivers a fuzzier, blacker line to the page while bringing out the texture of the paper.<\/p>\n

6B pencils also deposit a large amount of graphite to the paper’s surface, offering more smudging opportunities than rigid leads.<\/p>\n

Regarding brand, it’s crucial to opt for quality within your budget. Staedtler, Graf von Faber-Castell, and Caran d\u2019Ache are great brands to consider.<\/p>\n

The best artist colouring pencils<\/h2>\n

With much attention put on artists\u2019 graphite pencils, coloured pencils can get forgotten or become an afterthought.<\/p>\n

If you work in colour, then high-quality artist colouring pencils<\/a> are as essential to your work as excellent pencils and paper.<\/p>\n

The Staedtler Noris Colour 24 set<\/a> is a bestseller in our shop \u2014 as popular with more accomplished artists as with those just starting.<\/p>\n

Our Lamy Colorplus<\/a> packs (available in various sizes) are also a customer favourite, and for good reason. These break-proof pencils offer highly concentrated colour pigments that are smudge-proof and lightfast.<\/p>\n

If you already own colouring pencils, wish to build on your collection, or want to explore new possibilities, consider artist watercolour pencils<\/a>. These act like regular colouring pencils but are soluble in water, meaning you can apply watercolour techniques to your work, such as blending.<\/p>\n

How to choose the best artist pencils for you<\/h2>\n

To elevate your pencil drawing, you will need a wide variety of pencils to create highly detailed, nuanced work.<\/p>\n

The best way to achieve this is to purchase an artist pencils set containing a variety of lead grades. There are small and large sets available to cover the basics or expand your creative horizons.<\/p>\n

These will always include the most popular and, therefore, most useful professional artist pencils. You can then top your collection up with some individual pencils hand-selected for your art style and requirements.<\/p>\n

If you work in colour \u2014 or would like to \u2014 then don\u2019t forget to invest in a set of coloured pencils<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n

Alongside pencils, you\u2019ll need other tools for your drawing journey \u2014 don\u2019t forget to gather a sketchpad or drawing paper, a pencil sharpener<\/a>, and an eraser<\/a>, so you’re all set.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to learn more about pencil erasers, our blog provides answers to all your probing questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
