Pencil sets may also include additional accessories such as erasers, sharpeners, or carrying cases. They are commonly used by artists, students, and professionals for drawing, sketching, colouring, writing, or illustrating projects. Pencil sets offer convenience and versatility by providing a range of pencils in one package, allowing users to experiment with different techniques or styles without having to purchase individual pencils separately.
