Niji® Artist Crayons are richly pigmented, wax-based art crayons designed for drawing and illustration. Firmer than oil pastels, they provide greater control for clean line work, shading, and layering, without excessive smearing. Compared to regular children’s crayons, they contain higher-quality pigments and less filler, resulting in stronger color payoff, smoother application, and improved blendability. They glide easily across paper while maintaining crisp marks, making them a reliable choice for expressive yet controlled mark-making.
- Best For: Illustrators, students, and mixed media artists who want vibrant color with more precision than oil pastels and higher performance than standard crayons.
- Set Sizes: 12 Colors + Bonus Clear Blender Crayon, 18 Colors + Bonus Clear Blender Crayon
