Why choose Faber-Castell pencils?
Faber-Castell pencils have been known for years for their consistent quality and ease of use. And you'll notice this immediately when drawing:
-
Intensive pigmentation – colored pencils and watercolor pencils with high tinting strength.
-
Break-resistant pins – specially bonded to reduce breakage when dropped or sharpened.
-
Smooth color and line application – ideal for layering, blending and shading.
-
Lightfastness – many pencils retain their color even with prolonged exposure to light.
Compared to many other brands, Faber-Castell pencils are often smoother to use, less prone to breakage, and more consistent in color. This makes them popular with both professionals and hobbyists who want their work to look good not only today, but also years from now.
Selection guide: which Faber-Castell pencils are right for you?
Not sure which pencils are best for you? Here's what to consider:
-
Application and drawing style
-
Do you work primarily with color? Then choose Faber-Castell colored pencils , for example, for illustrations, mandalas, or coloring books.
-
Want to create painterly effects with water? Then Faber-Castell watercolor pencils are ideal: you draw dry first and then activate the color with water.
-
Do you make sketches, studies, or technical drawings? Then choose graphite pencils in various hardnesses (e.g., HB, 2B, 4B).
-
Sets of individual pencils
-
Paper and technology
-
For watercolor pencils, it is best to use slightly thicker, watercolor-suitable paper.
-
Smooth drawing paper works well for graphite pencils, especially if you are drawing a lot of details.
By combining – for example, graphite for the underdrawing and coloured pencils or watercolour pencils for the finishing – you get the most out of your Faber-Castell collection.
