Hello. I have seen this described as a "drawing crayon". Does this actually have a crayon texture?

It is waxier than a typical colored pencil, yes. Crayon is probably the best way to describe it, and you will find it difficult if not impossible to erase. It's mainly higher quality than a child's crayon.

I agree with Letterer's response. I would rate these leads as falling between a crayon and an HB pencil. They're softer than a pencil and harder than a crayon. In a pinch I suppose you COULD use it as a drawing crayon, but it's tough to get just the shading you want because it's not soft enough. I use mine as a highlighter.

This has leads which really are more like colored pencil leads. The texture is softer then a drawing pencil, but definitely harder than a crayon. Still, it would be difficult to write with these leads like a pencil, and it probably is best used for highlighting, or checking papers, which is how I use it. Some colors are a little harder, like the brown, but other than brief notes, not a first choice as a writing pencil.

No the paper isn't textured but if you wanted to use a fountain pen it would bleed through. The paper is very thin and meant for sketching with graphite. I tried a fountian pen on it because I wanted to use it as a journal but ended up just using it as a sketch book. Still a huge book for the price!

It's just crayons, markers and colored pencils. My 10 yr old would probably prefer one that included paints and pastels. My 4 year old loves it though.

What do you mean? Like is it a gel texture? It comes out very smooth and thin

No. It forces air through to propel the material. I have had no previous experience with any texturing but this worked really well in my opinion. I only did a knock down type of texture so I cannot comment on orange peel or popcorn texturing styles that can also be done with this gun.

It is a textured top, but really love it. Things like coloring books are fine as thicker . So sturdy and well made. Hope this helps!!

This is the one I ordered and it is textured. If you're going to paint it I recommend getting the gloss finished. I painted mine to color match and the texture really altered the paint color.

It definitely has a texture. If they don't like texture, they will not like this powder. Sorry, hope you can find something they will like!

Yes, they really do not. They are so faint you really can't see the drawings. I was very disappointed. I never considered using regular Crayola washables as Jessica mentioned but that's a good idea. I also highly recommend their window markers for young kids, my 4-year-old can spend hours standing at the window drawing and writing her name and the doodle mat never held her attention that well.

I don't think the core is as soft as a watercolor pencil, I can't speak to a pastel pencilI'be used mine a few times; like them to sketch out my subject since I you can erase if you need to change something before using water of course- I hope this helps

Yes, it is a dry erase board. My granddaughter is only 3, so she uses any paper they have. You should look at plain paper drawing pads for keeping any masterpieces. I hope this was helpful.

We used these crayons directly on fabric, though you could use transfer paper and then iron your design onto fabric. The problem with that is the "mirror effect" -- any text must be written in reverse so that the transfer makes the correct image onto the fabric.

I don't think that it did. I tried it before I gave it to my granddaughter and I wasn't very impressed. Our little Rose is more into drawing and painting so it didn't really matter. Before I bought this one, I searched everywhere for a good chalk board but I just couldn't find one so I decided on this easel. Everything else about this easel was fine.

I believe it always has some texture to it. There are different patterns available. I've never seen smooth.

No iT is not textured, it looks like brick it can almost fool you but second glance and you'll realize it's wall paper.

Sorry it was so long ago that I don't remember ... But I seem to remember texture was grainy and not smooth as it should have been. We were disappointed ...

Jeane, I'm sorry I replied yes, but it is actually not the fabric textured. My review was for the plastic folio.
