Blackwing Colors 12 Soft Smooth Coloring Pencils

Blackwing Colors

“Half the Pressure, Twice the Speed” Blackwing’s coloring pencils are each topped by a silver, metal hex cap that adds a bit of weight, giving the pencils a comfortable, balanced feel. This slightly-weighted end cap is important for artists who need superior control over an extended period of time. Although our pencils include an array of impressive features, the subtle beauty of Blackwing Colors pencils is from the fluidity that comes when using exquisite Japanese wax colored cores. Its smooth yet firm approach to writing and drawing gives its user an experience that cannot be duplicated. Pencils should sharpen evenly and easily, and Blackwing Colors pencils set the standard of excellence in that regard. Made of the the world’s finest materials, our 12-pack of colored pencils features genuine California Incense- cedar that gives them a sharper, more refined look. Read more The Possibilities Are Endless Our Blackwing colored pencils come with 12 unique colors, including pink, red, yellow, orange, light green, green, light blue, blue, violet, brown, black, and silver. Each pencil features a metal hex cap, Incense-cedar casing, silver imprint and logo, and Japanese wax-colored cores. Read more Blackwing pencils were originally introduced by the Eberhard Faber Company in the 1930s. Their cult following included John Steinbeck and Chuck Jones, who proudly used Blackwings to create Bugs Bunny and many other Looney Tunes characters. Despite this following, they fell victim to cost cutting measures of the 1990s and were discontinued. But, that didn’t stop devotees from paying as much as 40 dollars per pencil to seize unused stock. In 2010, our company drew from the nearly century of experience in the pencil business to access the best materials in the world and bring Blackwing back for a new generation of writers, musicians, and others seeking a more natural existence. Today, a portion of every Blackwing sale benefits music and arts education at the K-12 level.
