Derwent Drawing
Derwent Drawing are genuinely my all-time favourite coloured pencils—soft, buildable, and perfect for the earthy, painterly look I love. In this video I finally use the full 24-colour set to swatch, test colour triads, and make a whole sketchbook spread of master studies with lots of portraits and rich shadows.
You'll be taken to Amazon to complete your purchase.
Pros
- +Beautiful earthy palette that’s especially good for portraits
- +Layers and blends softly for a cozy, velvety finish
- +The 24-colour set feels cohesive for limited-palette studies
Cons
- -Not a bright “rainbow” set if you want super vivid primaries
- -Results can be paper-dependent (tooth matters)
