DerwentDrawing Pencil - Chinese White

Great pencil.It works better as a white pencil than FC Polychromos and is also good for blending pencil colours as it smoothes out fine lines.

I use this pencil for my highlighting in my colouring books and it is more subtle than the majority of the white pencils. I also find it nice to hold and although it is thicker it still sharpens in my ordinary sharpener

I used this to draw a picture of our puppy on natural coloured paper. The pencil itself is heavy and thick - and feels nice in the hand. The pigment is strong and so you can get a wonderful effect when using it to draw. My only complaint is that you have to sharpen quite a lot of it away because the point is quite long - meaning that a lot is wasted to keep the tip sharp. I recommend this for all artists looking to try something else but traditional pencils or ink.

I've tried a few 'white' pencils for highlighting, Staedler, Faber Castell etc and all found them all completely unsuitable - with a patchy, unpredictable, horrid shiny finish.Much like a crayola crayon. Honestly. Awful.I overlooked Derwent completely, so I thought I'd try it just to rule it out, for some reason thinking it would be substandard - and was delighted with the finish! Really nice to layer and blend, nice opacity and no discernable shiny, waxy or oily finish. So glad I gave Derwent a shot!Sorry Derwent. I was a total prat. No more!

Excellent thick sturdy pencil, highly pigmented. Love Derwent drawing pencils :)

I recently bought the 120 set of Polychromos coloured pencils and they are fantastic.However the white is next to useless. Okay, slight exaggeration but what it just will not do is show up over any other colour.What I really wanted was a white that would go over other colours for highlights and those whiskers/fine white hairs that it's so difficult to leave white.And this is it. I was advised to get the Luminescence white or the Derwent Drawing white and I opted to try this one first as it was cheaper. I could not be more happy.Granted it's not going to work like a gel pen or gouache or those other methods but it does go over colour and it can build up to be very bright. I added white to the nose of a portrait that has been sitting there awaiting highlights for a week and it really gave the picture life. As the title says, this pencil is fantastic.And Jacksons are as always brilliant. It felt odd buying from them via Amazon but I wanted the free postage, and their service is exemplary however you buy from them

Great for adding highlights to eyes. Stands out.

This pencil is perfect for doing highlights on my pictures especially on lips on a portrait picture. I would get this pencil again when I need it.
