Review: Nice - Extremely soft, doesn't feel bad in fingers. It can be used with water . V fragile sticks but awesome to cover a large area. Not suitable for details
Review: まず太さに驚きました。直径2cm、長さ5.7cm、角丸。 断面はシャープなので、意外と普通のクレヨンよりも細い線もひけます。 (そのうち丸くなるとやりづらそうですが) 使用感は、同社のインクテンスブロックに近い、軟らかめのパステル形状です。 グラファイトクレヨンと比較すると、9Bに相当すると思います。 一般的な感覚だと、油分は無いため安価なクレヨンよりは軟らかく滑りがよく、ソフトパステルよりは粉落ちが少なく、鉛筆と比べると粉が落ちる、といった感じ。 色が6色ですが、ダーウェント特有のニュアンスカラーで、上品な色合いです。 色だけで上手そうに見える色です。 水で伸ばすことができます。 かなり塗り込んでから水で伸ばすと、乾けばぴたっとフラットな塗りこみができます。 ですがグラファイト特有のメタル感、微量の乱反射があり、光によって見え方が変わる絵になります。 ある程度は練ゴムで消すこともできますが、完全には除去できません。 水でリフティングもできますが、真っ白には戻りません。 水で濡らした面に描画すると、より濃くなります。 大きな紙に、大胆に描くと気持ち良い画材です。 (私はA4用紙でも楽しめました)

*by J***R on 10 July 2021*

I love these big chunky graphite blocks. They are in a nice tin with padding, and I think the cut out foam that the blocks sit in are the way to keep them lasting. I find it is better to rub a block on a piece of pallet paper, and paint from that, rather than use it like pan watercolors. over time they can crumble if you use them that way a lot like do. I will replace them and not use the new ones like pan paint. I love the affect, the colors, the grainy affects, and how wonderful it to spread, blend and lay down. It's not good for layers upon layers. the bottom layers reactivate, if you are using water, but you can do many layers dry, and use a springy stiff dry brush to lay it down, blend, and fix it with a mat workable fixative, you can paint dry, layer upon layer, and I think I can work bigger, than if Im using pencils, by using larger dry brushes for blending. this works great on bristol, and bristol velum. I think these blocks will stay a staple in my kit. I have not used them yet with inktense blocks, or the inktense pan watercolor but I am planning to soon. I hope you give these a try, and enjoy them as much as I do.
