How do you like the Derwent pastel pencils? I use Derwent Coloursoft (coloured pencils) and quite like them (although it seems most people do not). I’ve been dabbling in pastels (although mostly oil pastels) and am tempted to buy a set of pastel pencils, since I really like the feeling of working with a pen or pencil (as opposed to a brush).
I loved using them. I used brushes to move the pastel around and blend and a 2b pencil for fine detail. Takes a bit of getting used to as the ‘point’ blunts very ouickly – not a bad thing, just need to get used to it. It’s nice not getting your hands too mucky, reduces unwanted smudging or needing to use tracing paper
