These pencils are a little weird and all have gimicks to them.
Edit! I made two other pencil sets if you want more natural pencils :o

This set is about pencils that are a little weird, so I'll talk about each of them in a more detail below. I drew most of the examples in black and white, but you can use them as colored pencils (you can see that lower down!).
1 -Natural-ish pencilit's like the natural pencil in MSPaint, but uses a different tip and texture. No pressure. The best way to use it is by layering colors on top of each other, blending by using the color picker to get in between colors. But you can change it to have pressure and anything else you'd like, don't worry about keeping the default settings if they do not work for you. :)
2 - Funny Faces Pencil
I doodled some silly faces and put them into this pencil! I like this one for sketching and coloring.
3 - Split Pencil
At larger sizes, the pencil looks like it is broken or dented. Surprisingly pleasant to sketch with, in spite of its intended look. :o
4 - Alternate colored Pencil
Its tip is fuzzy and dusty, like the clip studio default colored pencil, but the tip on this brush is not the same. This one is not tilt-sensitive, only pressure sensitive. Feel free to adjust those to your liking. Good for sketching and soft coloring.
5 - Hard Striker
This is the only pencil that tilts. It is supposed to look like a soft lead pencil pressed hard against a very rough paper. I like it for rough lineart and hard shading.
6 - Subtle dotty pencil
The only pencil that uses color mixing. Uses blending to create a very soft, fuzzy pencil. The amount and density of the brush is set low, but feel free to change it to a higher value.
7 - Dotty Pencil
The tip, like the other Dotty pencil, is made of a grid of dots. For a darker line, uncheck "Blend brush tip when darkened". It feels very unique!
8 - Close Knit Pen
Change the anti-aliasing & the gap on this one for a hatching effect at large sizes!
9 - Globby Pencil
The tip was meant for a grease pencil, but it did not look like one so I had to scrap it & turn it into this pencil instead. Play around with the spacing & the randomness of opacity and density for weird effects. Change the texture to your favorite if you'd like!
All of the spheres above were made by layering the five colors on the left on top of each other. The color picker was not used to get in betweens so all would look like real colored pencils.
Lastly, here is a stroke comparison.
Thanks for reading, hope you have fun with these if you download them!
