Lovely pencils. - These enormous pencils have the fattest core (6.25mm) of any coloured pencil I own, exceeding the even the Albrecht Durer Magnus at 5.3 mm. The big leads of this collection of skin tones lay down smoothly and cover every shade from a dark blackish brown through to a pale flesh tone that should, with the addition of a white to blend them, provide enough options for most skin colours. They are presumably oil and/or wax based as they are waterproof and feel similar to my Lyra Polycolours but have a creamier texture. Don't expect to create very fine detail with this thick a core but they do hold a point better than I expected. The fat unlacquered hexagonal barrel sits very comfortably in the hand and the vast core lays down colour easily and quickly. The only downsides are that there are no shade names on the pencils and no information on light fastness. I can forgive this as they are aimed at kids and it was easy enough to number them 1 - 12 with a Sharpie and will keep them for sketching. (I have written to Lyra asking for light fastness details and will update this if I get any information. ) I am prepared to forgive them a lot since I find them delightful. The ability to quickly apply large areas of dense colour almost as easily as with pastel pencils but with less mess or need for fixing is intoxicating and I am rapidly convincing myself that I need the rest of the colours. (UPDATE : I did buy the tin of 18 and have posted a photo of a piece along with a 5 star review of them. ) These are tremendous value for money and far better quality than I expected. They also have the advantage of being more robust than pastel pencils to transport which is a distinct plus for a klutz like me. These are definitely not just for little kids and I recommend them. Review: Very impressed! - Personally, I don't write product reviews very often, but I had to say something about these pencils. I bought them when I realised the earth/skin tones from my Marco Raffine set weren't quite cutting it, and I needed a substitute. For me, colour pencil is a quick medium that I use for sketchbook pieces, I am an illustrator, and my main medium is watercolour. My colour pencil work is for when I don't want to get the paints out, and just need a quick idea of how I want a piece to look. I just finished swatching them, and I'm so impressed. For my needs, these are fabulous. They lay down nicely, and there is a superb range of skin tones. These probably wouldn't be ideal for realism and portraiture, but for cartoons and illustrations I think they're perfect. I'm probably going to order another pack or two, just so that I've got spares! ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 36 months - The pencil with the biggest lead 6.3mm - Suitable for all age groups - hexagonal shape - Sustainable PEFC certified wood - Contains 1pcs for each of the following colours: nature umber burnt, nature sand, nature taupe, nature terracotta, nature oak, nature Mahogany, nature cinnamon, nature willow, nature rosewood, nature cocoa, nature bister, nature peach rose ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003UTH6NC | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Age range (description) | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | 40,526 in Stationery & Office Supplies ( See Top 100 in Stationery & Office Supplies ) 221 in Coloured Pencils for Adults | | Body Shape | Hexagonal | | Brand | LYRA | | Brand Name | LYRA | | Colour | 12 Assorted Colours | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,047 Reviews | | Drill Point | Broad | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04084900421994 | | Grip Type | Hex handle | | Hardness | H or 2B | | Included Components | Art and Craft | | Ink Base | Oil | | Ink Colour | Multicolour | | Ink colour | Multicolour | | Is the Product Left or Right Handed? | Left | | Item Diameter | 1 Centimetres | | Item Dimensions | 18.3 x 1.1 x 13.4 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Colouring pencils | | Item Weight | 0.17 Kilograms | | Line Size | 2mm and Above | | Manufacturer | FILA | | Material | Wood | | Material Type | Wood | | Model Name | Color Giants Skin Tones | | Model Number | 3931124 | | Pattern | Geometric | | Recommended Uses For Product | Coloring, Drawing | | Special Features | Soft | | Style | NATURE SKIN TONES 12 BOX | | Theme | Portrait | | UPC | 799198364277 084900421998 799198210338 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Waterproof | | Writing Instrument Form | Colored Pencil | | Writing Technique | Pencil lead | | Writing instrument form | Colored Pencil | ## Product Details - **Brand:** LYRA - **Writing instrument form:** Colored Pencil - **Colour:** 12 Assorted Colours - **Ink colour:** Assorted - **Age range (description):** Adult - **Material:** Wood - **Point type:** Broad - **Special feature:** Soft - **Unit count:** 12.0 count - **Model name:** Color Giants Skin Tones ## Images ![LYRA Color Giants Chunky Wooden Coloured Pencils, Hexagonal, 6.3mm Lead, 12 Assorted Colours, Ideal for Children and Schools - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71y6pZ69OML.jpg) ![LYRA Color Giants Chunky Wooden Coloured Pencils, Hexagonal, 6.3mm Lead, 12 Assorted Colours, Ideal for Children and Schools - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/310z+pTHiPS.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Definitely not just for kids.

These are brilliant, the leads are so soft and therefore easy to regulate the concentration of colour -and to shade and blend with. They are very long but my children (4 and 6) have found them easy to work with. I love them too! I looked at lots of similar sets as I was a bit put off by the price but having used Lyra a lot in the past I bit the bullet and went for these and am pleased I did. ## Frequently Bought Together - Lyra Color-Giants Skin Tone Colored Pencils - Set of 12 count colored pencils With A 6.25mm Core - Highly Pigmented Pencils for All Artists - Durable Color Pencils Set for Drawing Coloring and More - LYRA Waldorf Selection Giant Triangular Colored Pencil, Unlacquered, 6.25 Millimeter Cores, Assorted Colors, 12-Pack (3711121) - Lyra Super Ferby Triangular Metallic Colored Pencils - Set of 12 Metallic Pencils with A 6.25mm Core - Highly Pigmented Colored Pencils for Artists of All Ages - Durable Pencils for Coloring and More --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/49185677-lyra-color-giants-chunky-wooden-coloured-pencils-hexagonal-6-3mm](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/49185677-lyra-color-giants-chunky-wooden-coloured-pencils-hexagonal-6-3mm) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-05*
