Can I use colored pencil on these? Will it take the color?

Yes you can on the roughed side only! The smooth side needs to be drawn on with sharpie or permanent marker (and make sure it DRIES before you color!) Colored Pencils actually work best for these. When you bake them, the color comes out a bit more vibrant. Hope this helps!

Yes, colored pencil work very well. The sheets have a textured side which allows coloring and hold the color during the shrinking process. My grandkids LOVE Shrinky Sinks. Have fun

Yes! Sharpie markers that are permanent, alcohol based ink pads for stamps, and colored pencil work. I recommend doing a test first with the brand you have, since the color will be much more rich and concentrated once it shrinks. I push hard and make sure to color in the area completely.

Yes they are good for coloring; easy to work with. Color selection is very nice as well.

Yes. They are longer than a typical crayon but shorter than a standard #2 pencil.

I would assume so considering there is not a choice for color. Beware. This product may make you react.

no, you can't but I imagine there is a knife sharpener that is good for this(maybe in time I will look a knife sharpener that is suitable for it that doesn't ruin the color).. So far, ever since I bought it, still really sharp to used.

There is a different assortment of colors depending on which set you buy; you should be able to view which set comes with which colors before you buy them. I also suggest purchasing the blending pen (0) seperately... it makes a huge difference!

It will as long as the colored pencils do not have a plastic covering on the outside.

It's best to use a regular pencil sharpener - not electric. Colored pencils have soft leads that can clog the blades of an electric sharpener. With a hand held, good quality sharpener you have more control over how pointed the lead gets (you don't want sharp points on Inktense pencils).

Yes. I have sharpened Crayola colored pencils and it always works great for me!

Yes-this sharpens the colored pencils well. Mine are not too soft- so this was not a problem at all. Not sure if you have a softer lead with your pencils-but this worked well in ours.

They are coated on the outside so I'd suggest if you want colored ones search for ones already the color you want. But you can write on these with a Sharpie.

Hi, John .. Yes these are a bit difficult to get solid color.. the lead is medium hard. I know that doesn't really help much, I enjoy using them . but I am only using them for fun .. nothing serious. I have used a lot of colored pencils and these are the second best I have tried. The other brand I LOVE is Staedtler .. but I have only found them in 24 colors. I found them in a Michaels on clearance .........never had seen Staedtler pencils before.. always markers.. they are just a tiny bit softer and the colors are so true . Hopes this helps.. !!!

If it is very light and not much it will ease with one of the white eaters for the color pencils. This has been my experience but I am very new to using them. Hope this helps.

These are very vibrant colors and I love them, they are not really what I would call skin tones however, unfortunately I can't attach a photo to this post and the pencils don't have color names but there is a white, a buttery color a cream color, an ochre. a tan, a chocolate brown and a dark brown the rest are rainbow hues, I would google images of what's inside the tin to give you a better idea!

It does work on colored pencils but when the lead breaks off as you are sharpening, you have to shake it out otherwise it jams. I haven't had any problems.

Yes, the colors are so intense that my daughter preferred using these over colored pencils or markers even in 6th grade. I believe there is a peachy color that would work for Caucasian skin and some variation or two on tan/brown that could work for other races. I am going off memory, though.
