Derwent Inktense Pencils combine the brilliant intensity of pen and ink with the versatility of line and wash. This exciting range of water-soluble ink pencils is perfect for illustrators, designers and students as well as for pen and wash style drawings and floral artwork.

The pencils provide a pure, vibrant color that washes out to leave a translucent ink-like effect. Once dry, the color wash is permanent and can be washed over with other media, wet or dry.

I love Inktense pencils. The colors are vivid, and they work great with my watercolor paints, and stay vibrant when I go over the area to touch up.

Product Questions and Answers

Ask a Question

Can these pencils be used to sketch like regular pencils? Are they supposed to be used like watercolor paint?

- Asked by angelica on 13-Jan-14

Answer

Inktense pencils apply like regular colored pencils, but when brushed with water, they transform into a translucent ink-like wash. Once dry, the color is permanent and other media, wet or dry, may be used on top of the wash.

Another great item. I have enjoyed all of the items I have ordered from MisterArt.com. I am an artist... learning to bring color into my drawings. Fantastic product.

I LOVE THESE PENCILS!! Superb, intense color and easily blendable.

Rated by: Brian D. in Grand Junction, CO

These Inktense are pretty awesome. It feels near natural. When you lay a color it simply feels like I think it should. Mixing colors is easy. The brightness doesn't drastically dull when two colors are mixed. You have to be picky about your pencil sharpener, but not overly so, like with Prismacolors. The Staedtler Pencil and Crayon sharpener with 2 holes and a semi-transparent blue bottom with black top works great for sharpening these pencils. Perhaps these Inktense are the closest color pencil to act/feel the way I keep expecting a color pencil act/feel.

These pencils are WONDERFUL! They really live up to their name "Inktense". The colors go on smoothly and layer beautifully. Of all the colored pencils I've tried (and I've tried them all) these are the very best by far. If you're looking to produce art with brilliant and beautiful color, look no further. You want "Inktense".
