Curator's pick: Halawa Series 72 Colors Oil-based Colored Pencils
The hardness of the core is the standout feature; they hold a fine point significantly longer than wax-based competitors, making them better for intricate hair or fabric textures. They require more pressure for heavy saturation, but you won't deal with the waxy bloom common in cheaper sets.
⚠ Worth knowing: These pencils are notably firmer than soft-core brands like Prismacolor, meaning they can feel scratchy if you use low-quality toothless paper. Expect a longer blending time to achieve a smooth gradient compared to softer alternatives.

How to use this together
1
Lay Down a Base with Markers
Begin your artwork by using the Honolulu B Series Alcohol Markers on the Mixed Media Art Paper Pad to create your initial color blocks and gradients. This establishes a vibrant foundation and ensures your paper has the necessary absorbency for subsequent layers, which will prevent the pencils from piling up too quickly.
2
Add Pencil Layers and Details
Once the marker base is dry, use the Halawa Series 72 Colors Oil-based Colored Pencils to build up layers, add details, and refine your artwork. The paper's durability allows for multiple layers without damage, and the pencils' 4mm soft lead makes blending over the marker base smooth and effective for richer colors.
3
Blend and Refine with Blender Pencils
Utilize the Colorless Blender Pencils to seamlessly blend colors, soften edges, and create smooth transitions between your pencil layers. This step is crucial for achieving a polished, professional finish and for ensuring that colors merge beautifully without harsh lines, enhancing the overall depth of your piece.
4
Maintain Pencil Sharpness
Throughout your process, use the Electric Pencil Sharpener for Colored Pencils to maintain a precise point on your Halawa pencils. This is especially important for detailed work and ensures consistent application, preventing lead breakage and extending the life of your pencils, making your artistic workflow smoother.
