Oh my goodness, thank you for sharing my calendar! I had so much fun talking your class. My favorite Derwint pencils are Drawing Pencils and I also really like the Inktense. I would love to try the Tinted Charcoal and Graphitint. I’m in Virginia, US.

I have two Derwent Lightfast pencils and two Derwent Drawing. I enjoy the Lightfast more and would love to try more of their pencil range. Especially the Inktense pencils. I live in the north-west of Germany.

I love the coloursofts and the drawing ones, but I’d love to know more of them. I’m in Philadelphia, but a few years ago I made a pilgrimage to the Derwent factory!

Really enjoying the scent of the candle you gave me, it features in my art space and I light it when swatching Gabi.

Those Advent Calendars all look amazing! I'm I'm Australia, and Derwent is one of the pencil brands that is fairly common here, except I don't see a lot of the Lightfast range where I live. I'd love to try those. They are a beautiful-looking pencil.

I'm very eager to try the tinted charcoal! It's hard to pick a favorite colored pencil bc they all have a place and time. I started with Prismacolor premier and since have loved Derwent (LF, CS, drawing, inktense,etc), Caran D'ache, Faber-castell, and a few non-brand named ones as well. I live in Louisville, Kentucky, USA!

Hi, I've been following your work for a while now after seeing it in the Lizard. I wish I could draw so beautifully. Maybe one day...

My favourite Derwent pencils are inktense, but I've just got some drawing pencils which I can't wait to try out. I'm from Gloucestershire.
