General Pencils: Pastels
I have been using General pencils for years and they never fail. I love the colors, the leads don't break off, and they are easy to sharpen with no splintering. Consistant and easy to use on small accents or on layouts. The people at General are great too. I met them at a convention and they were helpful and I was in awe of all the different kinds of pencils they make!! They have been making pencils a LONG time and it shows in their quality and variety.
