I am not sure if I will use these pencils to create complete drawings. They have fewer pigments, plus it will cost me an entire pencil for bigger surfaces and for that, a pencil is too expensive (over 2 euros a piece). I just use it now to try them out, finish the paper, and for that, I need to win some time. I am slow when it comes to sketching and my time is limited. Not that I in an average sketch of I use the soft pastel sticks. I don't see any point in it.
