Tombow Irojiten - Kleurpotlood - P18 - Celeste blue - Lichtblauw - 6 Stuks
A pack of six high-quality Tombow Irojiten colored pencils in the soothing Celeste Blue (P18) shade, perfect for detailed artwork and delicate layering.
Tombow Irojiten pencils are renowned for their wax-based, firmer core that excels in precision work and layering. This specific six-pack of Celeste Blue (P18) is an excellent choice for artists looking to stock up on a beautiful, soft pastel shade, though the price per pencil is on the higher side.
Reasons to buy
- Beautiful, subtle Celeste Blue pastel shade
- Firmer wax core is ideal for fine details and clean lines
- High Japanese craftsmanship with an elegant white finish
- Excellent for building up layers without wax bloom
Watch-outs
- Relatively high price for a pack of six identical pencils
- Not ideal for quickly covering large areas due to the harder lead
Subtle Pigmentation and Precision
Tombow Irojiten (Japanese for 'color encyclopedia') pencils stand out due to their unique texture. Unlike very soft, buttery pencils, these feature a slightly harder, wax-based core. This makes the P18 Celeste Blue perfect for detailed work, fine sketching, and subtle shading without the lead breaking easily.
Perfect for Layering
While the initial color laydown might seem soft and semi-translucent, these pencils excel at layering. By applying multiple thin layers, you can build up beautiful depth and rich tones without saturating the paper too quickly.
Frequently asked questions
Why are there six pencils of the same color in this pack?
This is a single-color refill pack. It is designed for artists who frequently use the Celeste Blue (P18) shade and want to replenish their existing Irojiten collection without buying a whole new set.
Are these pencils easy to sharpen?
Yes, the high-quality cedar wood casing and break-resistant core mean they sharpen beautifully. We recommend using a sharp manual sharpener to maintain a fine point.
