The Studio Series 30-piece set is designed as a durable "bridge" product for students. It combines a high pigment density with a medium-hard wax binder, which helps the tip hold its shape longer than softer artist-grade pencils. This build quality significantly reduces the frequency of "shatter-point" failures, making them a practical choice for heavy-handed application.
The pencils feature 7.5mm hexagonal cedar-alternative casings that provide a comfortable grip and prevent rolling. The set includes a protective storage tin and a sharpener, providing a complete mobile kit. To maintain the "tooth" of the paper during heavy use, it is best to use a light touch or a fixative spray between layers to manage the waxy sheen that can develop.
If you find that 30 colors are insufficient for your artistic needs, the Studio Series Deluxe 50-count set offers a broader palette with the same reliable core centering.
