Description

Color and Effect

“Light Sepia” is a warm brown shade, often used in portraits, figurative graphics, and sketches. This color provides a soft and natural tone, making it ideal for transitional areas between black and white regions.

Usage

These pencils are perfect for drawing on lighter or neutral backgrounds. They allow for the addition of subtle warm tones and mid-range shadows before transitioning to richer carbon blacks or white highlights.

Compatibility with Mechanical Pencils

With a core diameter of 5.6 mm, these pencils work well with mechanical pencil holders or tools of the corresponding size.

Mechanical Properties

The “Light Sepia” pencil has medium hardness, making it less fragile than the softest pencils, yet not as “dry” as pure charcoal. Due to its gentle pigmentation, strokes may appear slightly textured on rougher paper. It can be blended using stumps, erasers, or fingers to achieve smooth transitions. As with other pencils, it may smudge, so fixing the drawing is recommended if it needs to last longer.
