How to sharpen a color pencil?

  • Answer:

    This also depends upon the quality of the pencils that you are using. Different brands have different quality of wood. However, sharpening color pencils with sharpener is not a good idea. It is always better to use a knife. If you go for good sharp knife, you can give the pencil end any shape you like. This also makes the pencils more friendly and funny. Remember, the color part of the pencil has to be very soft so you can not avoid this problem completely.

use a very sharp craft knife and very very softly scrape the edge of the pencil it makes it look a bit strange but it sharpens it wonderfully :)
