Description

With Derwent Inktense Pencils, you can achieve the intense colours and translucent effects you’d expect in a pen-and-ink drawing with an easy-to-control pencil. 

  • They come in a range of 72 jewel-like, highly blendable colours. 
  • You draw with them just as you would a traditional pencil, then wash over them with water to leave an ink-like effect.
  • This is permanent once dry, so you can use other media on top to create an almost limitless range of effects. There’s also a non-soluble outliner for drawing permanent outlines that won’t be affected by water.
  • As well as paper, you can use Inktense pencils on fabric, and they’re particularly stunning on silk.

Also available as:

Derwent Inktense Pencils Tin Set of 12 

Derwent Inktense Pencils Tin Set of 24

Derwent Inktense Pencils Tin Set of 36

11th February 2020 Reviewed by Sam Hudson I use these pens for colouring books. It's very relaxing and straight forward, so having the choice of so many colours makes the drawing and water colouring have more depth as it adds a professional touch. I'll also happily use these for other art projects as these pencils are great for blending.

11th December 2016 Reviewed by Anna Klemz Bought these to use for illustration of planting plans. I got the 72 pencil set as I need the pencils for quick sketches and can't be faffed mixing colours. The range of colours is great and some even have plant related names such as fern or beech. As other reviewers mention, doing a colour chart is a good idea as the sample at the end of the pencils don't match the actual colours.

24th June 2016 Reviewed by Amanda Steele I love the style of pencils in that when dry it doesn't change if you add another colour over the top.
Use in all areas of art, I personally use in colouring books only on those with good paper, thin copy paper is not good for this product.
I personally use with a very fine paint brush to minimise the water necessary. Alternatively in larger areas use with zest it (or similar) with a paper stump.
The quality of pencils is mainly great but the odd pencil is badly finished and I even had one with a broken lead, when I looked at it it was smooth around the broken edge so must have been broken during manufacture process.
I also wish there were a few more paler colours. Also the whit isn't great in my set, when I sharpened it the colour changed to a more cream colour.

26th May 2016 Reviewed by Patricia Williams I use the pencils to get strong colours in preparatory paper work prior to using egg tempera on gesso. I can decide on colours before committing to the gessoed board.
They would also be handy in field work rather than lugging lots of tubes and turps/ bottles of water.
They really do need a colour chart as there isn't a way of predicting with any accuracy from viewing the cores what the wetted colour will be.
But the colours are good, strong and easy to use. Best in detailed work as large areas can end up a bit stripey!

The pencils are a delight to use, they go down smoothly and softly, the colour bright and true. But when you add water is when the magic happens, that's when it becomes obvious that this is beautiful ink rather than pigment. The depth of colour is amazing.

If your finger is hovering over the button, don't hesitate, put them in your basket and then go straight to checkout. You won't be sorry.

Lovely and smooth to use and, when wet the colours have added depth to them - like ink (as the name suggests). More solid coverage than using fibre tipped pens but a similar boldness of colour.
