Slowly rotate the weathering pencil while gently sharpening to avoid breaking the lead. A single-hole wedge sharpener for colored pencils is recommended. Don’t like the results, remove the wet medium, use a damp paintbrush or wipe off using a damp paper towel. Once dry, the pencil lead can be removed using an eraser. Unlike permanent artistic pencils, AK Weathering Pencils are additive and subtractive. The Weathering Pencil marks can be removed using a normal eraser. Since these “pencils” are filled with a dense grease paint, the pigments can be blended on the model a la dry-brush style or the pencil can be dipped in water and the resulting paint-like solution that comes off the tip can be used for a myriad of techniques from heavy chipping to washes; pretty neat.

Hard Water vs Distilled Water | The Better Choice

Weathering is one of my weak points as a modeler so I’m always looking for a new technique or tool that will compensate for what little skill I have in this area. This translates into more control over the process and the option of wiping my mistakes clean and starting over without marring the underlying finish. These AK pencils provide both. Remember, before applying water-soluble acrylics over Weathering Pencil effects, seal with a non-acrylic Varnish. Weathering pencils work best on a matte finish due to surface texture. Remember, Weathering Pencils is a water-soluble product that performs best using Distilled Water.

A pencil eraser of the same soft material provides greater control. The range of liquid pigments for modeling in 35ml format allows us to work wet to access all the recessed areas of our models and allows fixation without the need for extra products, glues or fixers.
