This is what true dedication to the craft looks like.

We love seeing how our ambassador uses Derwent Graphic pencils to study classic animation form and movement, for the character ‘Toot’ in his upcoming children’s book. It’s an incredible dedication to craft on every one of the 42 drawings that make up this 3-second animation.

Did you know you can use our Inktense range for printmaking? 🙌

With its highly pigmented colour, Inktense is perfect for creating art beyond the page, on paper, ceramics, wood, and even fabric.

Here’s what you’ll need👇

• Derwent Inktense products
(Inktense pencils, Inktense blocks, or Inktense paint pans)
• Paint brushes
• A plain canvas tote bag
• A pot of water
• An embroidery ring (optional)
• A covered surface (trust us, it’s very pigmented!)

1️⃣ Step One: Dampen
Lightly dampen your fabric before you begin applying colour.

2️⃣ Step Two: Add Your Colour
Activate the Inktense pigment with water and start creating! You can apply water directly over your design, or dilute the pigment with water on your brush before applying it to the fabric.

3️⃣ Step Three: Let It Dry
Leave your design to dry for around 10 minutes.

For best results, we recommend a cool hand wash (below 30 degrees) with no harsh detergents.

Don’t forget to tag us in your creations! Happy printmaking! 🫶

There’s such a lovely, hazy summer feel to this artwork by .

Working with a beautiful, nature-inspired palette, she’s used our Derwent Drawing pencils to capture this fox resting in the long grass.

The Derwent Drawing range is an essential tool for any artist inspired by nature. The wide, soft core gives them a rich creamy texture, meaning the colour glides onto the page to give a smooth, opaque finish.

While they’re a firm favourite for textures like fur and feathers, they’re just as reliable for earthy landscapes and deep tones in portraiture.
