Staedtler 146C C24 Colour pencil

The Staedtler 146C C24 colour pencil is made in Germany and designed for consistent, vibrant colour application. It features high-quality pigments with well-saturated tones and a break-resistant lead formulation that supports reliable use in drawing, sketching and colouring tasks. The pencil’s ergonomic hexagonal barrel gives a comfortable grip and prevents rolling on work surfaces, making it practical for classroom, studio and home use.

Advantages

High-quality pigments deliver even, saturated colour laydown across paper types. The break-resistant lead reduces interruptions from lead breakage and extends usable life under normal pressure. An ergonomic hexagonal wooden barrel improves handling comfort and stability during extended sessions. The product is manufactured in Germany, reflecting consistent production standards and quality control.

How to use

Select the desired colour and sharpen the pencil with a suitable sharpener to achieve the needed point for fine lines or a blunter edge for broader coverage. Apply colour with steady pressure for consistent tones; vary pressure to achieve lighter or darker shades. Layer colours for depth and blend gently using overlapping strokes or a colourless blender pencil where appropriate. Store pencils horizontally or in a pencil case to protect the leads and preserve the lacquered finish.

Recommendations

Use a high-quality sharpener to avoid splintering the wooden barrel and a protective case when transporting. For best blending results, work on medium-weight paper with a slight tooth. Avoid excessive pressure that may exceed the break-resistant core’s limits.
