Derwent Drawing Pencils 72 Tin

The Derwent Drawing Pencils 72 Tin contains the complete range of colours from this much-loved pencil series, offering artists the full palette of subtle, nature-inspired tones that make the range so distinctive. With 72 carefully developed shades, this set provides exceptional flexibility for building layered drawings and capturing the delicate colour variations found in the natural world.

Each pencil features Derwent’s soft wax-based core, designed to deliver rich, creamy colour that glides smoothly across the page. The wide 5mm colour strip allows artists to apply strong pigment quickly, making it easy to build layers, blend tones and create expressive marks while maintaining excellent control for detailed work.

The palette is inspired by the colours of nature, combining warm earth tones, subtle greens, atmospheric blues and rich sepias. This makes the range particularly popular with wildlife artists, landscape painters and anyone working with natural subjects such as foliage, fur, feathers and textured surfaces.

Because of their naturally opaque character, Derwent Drawing pencils also allow lighter colours to be layered over darker tones, making it easier to introduce highlights and refine details as a drawing develops. The highly lightfast pigments help ensure finished artwork retains its colour over time.

The 72 tin is the ultimate set for artists who want the full Derwent Drawing palette at their fingertips, whether working in the studio or building a comprehensive coloured pencil collection.
