Kite colored pencils

Kite colored pencils are made of natural wood, most often linden or poplar. The lead has a high concentration of high-quality pigments. All Kite products are non-toxic and safe for use by children, which is confirmed by European quality certificates.

No. The lead in Kite pencils has increased resistance to impact and breakage, thanks to the high quality of the composition and special gluing technology along the entire length of the body. This ensures easy and uniform sharpening.

Kite offers pencil lines for different age groups:

Jumbo thick triangular pencils (for preschoolers and younger schoolchildren) – help develop the correct pencil grip.

Standard hexagonal and triangular pencils – for middle and high school students, as well as for hobbies.

Pay attention to the following signs: even color coverage, stability of the lead (does not break or crumble), natural wood body, pigment does not fall off, easy sharpening without cracks.

HB on a pencil - this is a designation of the hardness of the lead.

Letter H means "solid", and B - "soft" (black).

So, HB is a medium hardness, a universal option for school, writing and light drawing. Such a pencil is not too hard and not too soft, gives a moderately dark mark and is well suited for everyday use.

The softness of a pencil is determined by the marking on the body - this is the international H-HB-B scale:

H (Hard) - hard lead. The larger the number before the H (2H, 3H, 4H...), the harder the pencil and the lighter the mark.

HB - medium hardness, universal option.

B (Black) - soft lead. The higher the number before B (2B, 4B, 6B...), the softer the pencil and the richer the mark.

So just look at the letters and number - it determines the softness or hardness of the pencil.

Erasing colored pencil is more difficult than graphite, but there are several effective ways:

1. Use a good quality eraser. A soft vinyl or plastic eraser works best. Rub gently in a pointed motion, without pressing too hard to avoid damaging the paper.

2. Pencil eraser (pencil-shaped eraser). Suitable for fine details and small areas. Allows you to erase pigment more precisely.

3. Soft artist's eraser. It "lifts" pigment from paper well, especially soft or wax pencils. It doesn't rub, but sticks, so it doesn't tear the paper.

4. Special erasers for colored pencils.

Tip: The softer the pencil and the denser the pigment, the harder it is to erase. Therefore, it is better to test the colors on a rough sketch before drawing.
