Use alcohol for blending and layering the pigment.
Git gud at drawing.

Using alcohol. Interesting.

yeah, i've had the same experience with those colored pencils - there's barely any pigment, definitely a flaw in those.

For a different set in the same price range, I was also pleasantly surprised with pentel colored pencils - they're great for detail work & blocking in color for beginners, imo. Very bright colors.

Faber Castell Polychromes, or just Polychromes in general. They've got much more pigment, though they may be more expensive.

I bought my pencils for $10.

Cheap colored pencils are not very pigmented
Go with >>2979190 if you really want to stick with this POS medium

Either that or watercolor pencils. Although cheap colored pencils have their merit, too. I like me some basic red/blue pencil for sketching.

What is best brand of watercolor pencils

>>2981930
The absurdly expensive Caran d'Ache Museum. Supracolors are a better purchase imho, with Faber-Castell's Albrecht Durer range coming in third, and then maybe Derwent.
