New color pencil leads (Patreon)
Content
i like the color, how easily it applies to paper, saturation and brightness BUT! when you use water over them they tend to smudge a bit. Not like complete watercolor pencils but still enough to lose details and it makes the painting harder. Besides the leads end too fast, maybe because it's too soft? idk. Anyway, I decided to search for another alternative.
A few days ago I got a parcel with new leads, from Pentel (bought it here ). You can use it with any mechanical pencil 0,5 width (the pilot eno are 0,7) just by replacing the grey lead by these, so did I. I have no idea what brand is this pencil I was just captivated by it's bright mauve color so I bought it XD
What I can say about these leads... well they don't smudge!! That's great! Awesome and amazing! But it's not so bright and easy to apply like the pilot eno ones, I think they are more H side ones. But it's okay because it doesn't smudge!. BUT! (again XD) They are so easy to crack. Because it's hard to get a bright strong line you start to press harder and it cracks. Ohhh... And it seems like they have only red and blue colors but I need my orange and violet (pinks will be great too oh).
Okay my "searching for an ideal color pencil leads" adventures to be continued. Stay tuned :DD
