Functions faultless!
I bought this sharpener specifically so I could sharpen my set of Triocolor Grand drawing pencils. These are extra thick colored pencils, and the sharpener operated perfectly on them.

FAQs
How do you sharpen soft pastels?
Soft pastels cannot be sharpened in standard pencil sharpeners because they are too fragile. Instead, you can gently rub the pastel tip against a specialized wire mesh funnel, like the one in this shaper set, to form a clean point or bevel without breaking the stick.
What can you do with collected pastel powder?
The collected powder is excellent for blocking in large background areas efficiently. You can apply it dry using your fingers, cloths, or foam applicators, or mix it with water or art binders to create custom fluid paints and unique textures.
How do you clean the pastel shaper mesh screen?
The complete set includes a specialized mini wire brush. Simply sweep the brush bristles across the mesh funnel after your shaping session to dislodge trapped pigment particles and keep the screen clear for your next use.
Is this HG Art Concepts Pastel Shaper authentic and available in India?
Yes, this is a genuine product sourced directly from the USA. Dropy India ensures that all imported art supplies are one hundred percent authentic, handling the international logistics so Indian artists can access premium global tools.
