As a hobby illustrator I ordered this Estompen and tested on a pencil drawing. What can I say? They do what they should! They blur neatly and precisely. This way, even skin pores, draw hair etc easily. And is on a bit too much graphite, then you can simply rub the tip over the jeans and then the tip is to have taken clean again without harm. An colored pencil drawings I have not yet tested this Estompen further, but I'm assuming that they achieve identical results there. The highlight of this 5 Pack is that all Estopmen actually have an equal tip. It is therefore always exactly equal to selectively blurred. The only point by being different from each other, the diameter of which is but elected by their own preferences (small finger -> Estompe thin, thick fingers -> Big Estompen). Who but the diameter does not matter who has what ages these Estompen. If you do not vandalized, then hold them for a while. So highly recommended for this price!
(Whether you can sharpen them, I do not know, but for the price you can surely it easy ausprobieren.Sie feel at least fairly stable and can not compress)
