Arteza - Metallic Colored Pencils

Metallic Colored Pencils

Blend shimmering metallics for luminous highlights and dimensional effects

Metallic pigments suspended in wax cores catch light differently than standard colored pencils, creating dimensional effects that shift as viewing angles change. Arteza formulates these cores to blend smoothly despite their metallic content, enabling gradients that transition from copper through bronze to gold, or layering techniques that build luminous depth. Strong leads resist breakage during sharpening and application, maintaining fine points for detailed stippling or hatching that adds shimmer to specific areas rather than entire surfaces.

Pre-sharpened pencils arrive ready for immediate work, no need to sacrifice the first centimeter of each color establishing a usable point. The 24-color assortment spans warm and cool metallics: golds, silvers, bronzes, and metallic versions of traditional colors like green, blue, and red. This range supports both subtle accent work and fully metallic compositions. Hexagonal barrels prevent rolling during sessions where you're switching frequently between colors.

These pencils excel when you need reflective quality without switching to metallic markers or paints. Add highlights to graphite portraits, create shimmering details in fantasy illustration, or layer over darker colored pencil work to suggest candlelight or moonlight. The blendable formulation means metallic effects integrate naturally with your existing colored pencil techniques rather than sitting as obviously separate elements.
