Faber-Castell Polychromos Colour Pencils are professional-quality artists' coloured pencils loved for their rich pigmentation, smooth colour laydown and exceptional control. They layer and blend beautifully, making them ideal for everything from fine detail and realistic illustration to portraits, botanical art and expressive coloured pencil work.
Available individually, Polychromos pencils make it easy to replace your most-used colours or build your own custom palette from the extensive 120-colour range. Each pencil features a generous 3.8mm lead with high-quality, acid-free pigments for vibrant, long-lasting colour, while Faber-Castell's SV bonding helps protect the lead against breakage.
Why artists choose Faber-Castell Polychromos
Polychromos are designed for artists who want strong colour, precise control and dependable performance. Their soft, vibrant laydown allows colour to be built gradually through multiple layers, while the water-resistant and smudge-proof colour helps keep finished artwork clean and defined.
The 3.8mm lead provides a useful balance between broad colour application and detailed drawing. Sharpen it to a fine point for intricate work, hatching and defined edges, or use more of the lead surface for smooth areas of colour.
