What is a pastel pencil used for?
Pastel pencils are used for detailed drawing, sketching, and pastel painting. They combine the powdery, vibrant color payoff of traditional pastels with the control of a pencil, making them ideal for fine lines, crisp edges, and smooth blending without excessive dust.
Are pastel pencils better than colored pencils?
