The Holbein Artists' Colored Pencil Set of 24 is a Japanese-made pencil set built for drawing, illustration and design work. Each pencil has a soft 3.8mm lead that lays down color smoothly and blends and overpaints well on most papers. The pigments are chosen for high lightfastness, so finished work holds its color over time. It suits artists who want a soft, blendable pencil with strong coverage, though the 24-color range is smaller than the large sets rivals sell.
