Derwent PROCOLOUR PENCIL 72 TIN

Wer bereits andere Derwent-Stiftesets besitzt, kennt in etwa so ungefähr die Qualität und natürlich auch Optik, die er zu erwarten hat. Auch die ProColour-Stifte bilden hier keine Ausnahme. Vom Härtegrad her liegen sie zwischen den Derwent Artists (hart) und Derwent Coloursoft (weich). Der Farbabrieb ist gut und die Farben leuchtend. Für Künstler wäre allerdings evtl. noch gut zu wissen, dass nicht alle Stifte lichtecht sind. Ich habe gelesen, dass nur 39 von 72 Stiften eine höhere bis hohe Lichtechtheit haben. Auch gehören offenbar z. B. sämtliche Violett-Töne nicht dazu. Da ich nicht als Künstlerin arbeite und auch keine Werke verkaufe, spielt das für mich allerdings weniger bis überhaupt keine Rolle und fließt somit auch nicht in meine Bewertung ein. Bisher bin ich mehr als zufrieden mit den Stiften

I bought these because an oil based pencil?? Perfect , smooth, bright colours. Really excited to see how these mix with other materials and hold up on their own. I haven't bought a good set of pencils (beyond cheap crayola) for ages and I am again reminded of the quality. Shipped nice and fast too!

The tin lid doesnt latch onto the box and falls off easily. The pencils are capable enough to produce magical results in the right hands.(If you know how to use them) *Note* Each type of pencil behaves differently and that doesnt make them good or bad..choose what fits your needs. They are somewhere in between soft and hard..Well pigmented and waxy. Have to disagree with the reviews that say they dont blend well. Ive added 8 to 10 layers(even after using oil to blend) and they still hold up pretty well. I can keep on adding layers they still keep doing their job. Im a beginner-intermediate and they offer way more than my skill can handle. Go for it!

These are gorgeous. Same colour set as the Inktense. These are vivid, layer well and are smooth to use. Great investment!

I've tried and used several different brands of colored pencils, including Prismacolor, Faber Castells and Caran d'Ache. I find the Procolour to be better then any I've tried. At least for me. I have the 72 set and they came from Amazon global. It took less then a week to arrive. And the pencils were perfect. The color palette is great. Good color choices and it gives you what you need. The pencils sharpen well and the leads seem strong. The Procolour feels firm enough for detail and control and yet they glide and lay down beautifully. Not scratchy at all. They have a soft feel but, not smushy. It's not as soft as Colorsoft. More like Polychromos with a control and firmness of Derwent Artist. A perfect blend of firm and soft. They remind me of my favorite drawing pencils, Palomino Black Wing #602. The pencils glide across when laying down color. And the colors are vivid. Blending is a dream with a blend or solvent. I painting the pencil I find a softer pencil then bristle works best. With a softer brush you get the same effect as Polychromos. You can layer quite abit depending on the paper. I used Stonehenge. I would also recommend doing a color chart or playing with the different colors as some colors lay down a color that is not quite the same as the lead. Something I find standard with Derwents of all lines. I absolutely love the feel of the pencils and the colors. I love the colors in this line. Derwent really did an amazing job of bringing a firm and soft blend in this pencil and they have been a joy to use
