Art & Graphic Polychromos Colour Pencil, Multicoloured, Gift Box Of 36, For Art, Craft, Drawing, Sketching, Home, School, University, Colouring

Absolutely love these Pencils,l have bought several makes of Coloured pencil in the last year or so and the quality can be very uneven,not so with Faber Castell. The quality of these well established German Pencils is amazing. The colour,brightness,brilliance,texture and comfort of use is astounding,a beautiful pencil that does not come cheap but the result is worth it,not once did l find a "breaker" ( you have a broken lead,you sharpen and it breaks again and again until the pencil disappears! ) l found this often with the cheaper made pencils but with Faber...Never. A Superior pencil that comes in a gorgeous green box case and is a real pleasure to draw with, 5 stars.

I've not used coloured pencils for many years so I'm no expert but I think I can recognise a quality item. They are very well made and finished, lovely to use and sharpen well. I bought the Faber Castell snap open triple sharpener which works perfectly with them. They sharpen to a good point and colour lays down well. I like that I can add to my set by buying single colours so that was a consideration when choosing this set. Really pleased with them. I suppose one thing that I do notice about them is that they have quite a strong pencil smell which is nostalgic but so strong. If you're sensitive to smells as I am, you might not like it. I'm hoping it will wear off with use.

I bought these a few months ago as a present to myself. I have always enjoyed colouring in, and the new wave of colouring books for adults has bought back a passion in me. I was really uncertain due to the price, but with some research felt these pencils would be the best for me. I tend to colour in hard, and like a fine point on my pencil for most colouring. These hold up brilliantly, and although I get the occasional breakage on a point, they are generally long lasting. No real issue with different sharpeners so far. The gift box these come in is great. I can quickly pack the pencils away when I am finished colouring and the magnetic latch stops any accidental spills. I accidentally spilled some acetone on the box whilst doing my nails, and although I lost some green colouring off the faux leather, the box still works and it protected the pencils. As some of the pencils shorten, I imagine it may become more difficult to get certain pencils out. The pencils themselves are wonderful. They don't smudge whilst colouring, and blend brilliantly. If you are a novice like myself to artist quality pencils, these are a great start.

Good. Great pencils

I'm a complete newbie to art (I'm challenging the part of me that believed it when a school teacher told me I was 'no good at art'!). I have struggled with cheap crayons in the past, but know enough from being a musician that it is false economy to begin with a cheap instrument to 'see whether you have any talent'. Yes, a bad workman blames his tools, but cheap tools have their limitations and I've now learned it's the same with crayons! These are beautiful pigments, they blend well and are very soft. It's taken my enjoyment of drawing and colouring to a completely new level. I was nervous of spending the money, but these have been worth every penny and I highly recommend them.

Well the saying of you get what you pay for, you do with these! I’m not a professional as in sell my art, but I enjoy in my spare time now and again having a go, and I bought quite a few different brands just lately of colour pencils to try and get into doing realistic art rather than watercolour, and so far all have been poor quality- almost snapping the nip to get colour onto the paper! you don’t have to do that with these, they literally put colour on the paper! With a nice vivid colour and they blend really well. I wish I hadn’t wasted my money with the others I’m just going straight to these.. If you’re looking for colour pencils don’t waste your money in time buying any other type a professional told me to go with these and I strange with others, these are the ones.

Excellent pencils, so good we bought the full 120 within a few days. Oil based cores that lay down pigment consistently in many layers, they can be blended dry easily, take a nice fine point especially when sharpened with a decent sharpener like the KUM long point. The cores are medium hard, harder than Primsacolor and Luminance, softer than Lyra Rembrandt and Tombow Irojetin. No flakes or dust. Pencil quality is exceptional, casings are high quality with a nice round barrel, consistent and functional, cores centred, zero breakages. This box of 36 has an adequate range for most common usage, and as they are easy to blend and layer additional values and tones can be achieved with relative ease. Highly recommended versatile coloured pencil.

Can layer it easily and mix colours seamlessly, perfect for details and the pencils themselves are very high quality with no breakages in the pencil led.
