Derwent Inktense Pencil – Dark Chocolate (1930)

You need a deep, grounded brown for shading, outlines, or that rich base layer under your colour work — and you're tired of pencils that either go too grey or too orange. Dark Chocolate 1930 sits right in the neutral-warm zone. Soft on paper, highly blendable, and it takes water beautifully to become a deep, permanent chocolate-brown ink. Layer it first, then pull lighter tones over it for contrast that actually reads as depth. Same pencil works on paper, ceramic, wood, or fabric, so your studio shelf stays simple

• Water-soluble soft pencil — smooth dry shading or wet-activated Dark Chocolate ink (code 1930)
• Dries permanently once water is applied; excellent base layer for multi-tone work
• Deep neutral-warm brown that blends cleanly with lighter Inktense shades
• Suitable on paper, ceramic, wood, and fabric surfaces
• Soft, low-pressure texture for controlled shading without harsh edges
