The first pencil developed by Derwent, Artist, is recognized as series no. 19. Its traditional round barrel and wide core make it an excellent pencil for drawing broad lines, as well as free, expressive works. The slightly waxy texture of the Artist pencil is ideal for layering and mixing color tones; thus, an unlimited number of different shades and nuances can be created for drawings.

If you are looking for sharper and more precise drawing results, choose the Studio series pencil with its narrower, square core. The products of the Studio series are identical in other respects to those of the Artist series, and they complement each other excellently.
