Coloring pencils are art tools used for drawing and coloring. They consist of a thin wooden or plastic casing that encases a core made of colored pigments and a binder. These pencils come in various colors and can be sharpened to a fine point for detailed work or used on their side for broader strokes. Coloring pencils are popular among artists, students, and hobbyists for their versatility and ease of use. They can be blended to create new shades and are often used in combination with other mediums, such as markers or watercolors, to enhance artwork.
