Derwent Drawing has a unique, waxy consistency which makes it easy to apply and produces a smooth, velvety finish on the paper. Box Contains 1xPencil

Review: Great pencil - Great pencil. It works better as a white pencil than FC Polychromos and is also good for blending pencil colours as it smoothes out fine lines.
Review: Love it. - I have a set of 12 Derewent inktense pencils that suit me just fine but there is no white in the mix - I was delighted to find I could buy a single pencil (even though it is not inktense) and chose this one based on the reviews. I want it mostly for highlighting/shading purposes on images on recycled brown card stock and it works beautifully - going heavily or lightly for highlighting/shading and sometimes blending a bit with an eraser, it's not noticeably oily/waxy and it sharpened just fine with my ordinary, good quality, sharpener. I love it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this pencil go over graphite pencil lines and cover it up**
A: No. It is a very soft opaque white colored pencil that will show when used over colored pencil. I don’t believe it will cover graphite. I believe the Derwin’s Chinese White drawing pencil is wax based so would probably just smear the graphite. It is, however, the best white to use when needing white highlights on colored pencil paintings (I also have used it for highlights on watercolor paintings). Hope this helps.

**Q: Are the Derwent Drawing Chinese pencils lightfast, including this white?**
A: I was looking for a bright white in my color pencil drawings. This pencil was actually better than most, but I like the Luminance. As far as lightfastness goes, I just started using these and so far so good! I've had no problems. Hope this helped.

**Q: Does this work like the brush and pencil powder blender texture touch up? Does it give the same results? Thx!**
A: I find this chinese white Derwent pencil to be the best white I own. There is no need to mix it and no brush needed. It covers my white needs perfectly except for the highlight in the eye, which the brush and pencil texture medium is best. Keep it sharp and use a soft touch with it.

**Q: What does it mean "1-pack"?**
A: Hello Junko S, there is one pencil in a 1-pack.  Hope this helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic!
*by A***R on 7 August 2018*

I recently bought the 120 set of Polychromos coloured pencils and they are fantastic. However the white is next to useless. Okay, slight exaggeration but what it just will not do is show up over any other colour. What I really wanted was a white that would go over other colours for highlights and those whiskers/fine white hairs that it's so difficult to leave white. And this is it. I was advised to get the Luminescence white or the Derwent Drawing white and I opted to try this one first as it was cheaper. I could not be more happy. Granted it's not going to work like a gel pen or gouache or those other methods but it does go over colour and it can build up to be very bright. I added white to the nose of a portrait that has been sitting there awaiting highlights for a week and it really gave the picture life. As the title says, this pencil is fantastic. And Jacksons are as always brilliant. It felt odd buying from them via Amazon but I wanted the free postage, and their service is exemplary however you buy from them
