Derwent. Watersoluble Sketching, Magpie
Fulfilling my earlier promise of adding more pictures - well here it is. This one is of a magpie sat on top of some foliage. For this one I focused more on the dark pencil (8B) as the body of the magpie is obviously dark!! I hope you like it and comment below.
Again the picture was taken using the iPad camera so forgive the slight blurriness!
For more hints and tips check out Derwents website www.pencils.co.uk
I do have more on my list to upload- instructions for actually using these pencils and a couple more pictures using the Watersoluble sketching pencils!

Derwent- Watersoluble Sketching
Recently I received from Derwent Watersoluble sketching pencils,hopefully this post will tell you more about them! You can pick up this great value set for approximately £7 in most arts and craft shops (£7.49 -Hobbycraft) These pencils can also be purchased separately! The pencils come in a pack of 6, 2 of each shade:
2 x HB
2 x 4B
2 x 8B
If you like the versatility of watercolour pencils,yet the convenience and tones of sketching pencils then these combine the best of both worlds!
The pencils come in a metal tin to keep them together,complete with a free sharpener, great for sketching out and about!! These pencils are similar to standard graded sketching pencils, so for example (6B,4B and HB) They also have labeled the pencils to show what type of wash they create, just for added assistance!! They also come pre-sharpened so there isn't that annoyance of opening a pack of pencils and finding you still have lots of sharpening to do before you get started!
I first imagined these pencils as being quite scratchy and to be honest not that Watersoluble, so leaving indents in the paper! However these pencils were extremely soft and didn't leave any of these marks as you will find out in my next post - a demo of these pencils!
Overall if you like experimenting, creating different tones then I would totally recommend these to you!
