What was in the box?

Chameleon Color Blending Fineliners

The newest addition to the Chameleon family was elegantly crafted to incorporate Chameleon color blending technology into a fine point Japanese precision 0.3mm metal clad tip. These fineliners have a patented dual ink system, with ink in the pen and in the cap! To blend colours, all you have to do is switch the cap to another pen (hold vertically for a better transfer), leave it a few seconds and make vibrant colour to colour blends! Filled with water-based, washable ink that wont bleed through most papers or dry out when left with the cap off for up to 2 days. Six colour pens, with multiple colour combinations.

Pilot DR Drawing Pen 05

A technical drawing pen with fast-drying, highly water-resistant and light-fast black pigment ink. The hard-wearing plastic tip is ideal for drawing and sketching. Pilot Drawing pens are not just for artists and designers, but for anyone looking for a solid, reliable fineline pen! The unique pen cap contains a system that circulates the ink in the pen tip while the pen is capped. This prevents the tip from drying out while not in use, so that the next time you write, the pen will deliver a smooth line from the very start!

Staedtler Lumograph 4H Pencil

The Lumograph pencil is highly recognisable with its blue, black and white livery. A premium-quality tool ideal for all artists with a special lead formulation providing a supreme metallic lustre. It is especially break-resistant thanks to super-bonded 2mm lead. It’s easy to erase and easy to sharpen with any quality sharpener. The perfect pencil for some light sketching before adding any line-work.

Crok’Book by Clairefontaine

The handy and flexible Clairefontaine Crok’Book contains 24 sheets of white, 160gsm, PEFC paper, stapled into a 270g Maya card cover embossed with the company’s logo. This high quality paper is made in France and has a fine tooth surface that is acid free. The perfect sketchbook companion to the supplies included in this box.

Lovely selection of pens

Lovely selection of pens

Oooh pretty!

I really enjoyed playing with the Chameleon pens, and experimenting with colour blends, how long to hold them together for etc. Really good fun for bullet journalling and give some interesting effects when colouring in drawings. Would be great for colouring books, if you were into those. The sketchbook is a really nice size, with fab paper and the black fineliner has ink which is satisfyingly dark and crisp.

Not for me :worried:

I didn’t get on with this box at all. I’m no good with pen work anyway but could not get the hang of any of the blending tips and found the yellow too weak. I will definitely use them as a support for other mediums though. We can’t love everything
