Woomer Premium Colored Pencils: 3.8mm Durable Artists Soft Core, 72 Colors for Pro, Enthusiast, Single Color Available

Very good for the price point (when on sale or with a discount offered). Pigment excellent, very soft leads, similar to Prisma, not quite as crumbly though. No issues with sharpening them. Test was done on a standard coloring book page, since that is where most folks are using colored pencils these days. Considering the terrible quality of coloring book paper in most books out there, this test one included, the pencils performed amazingly well. Everything was done with only the colored pencils, except for the white spots on the feathers, which are white gel pen. I did test the use of three blending pencils (prisma, lyra and polycolor) as well as colorless blender alcohol marker - all worked very well with these pencils. On quality artist paper, these pencils are exquisite. I just swatch tested them, but performance was so good, I will be using these for sketching and artwork that is not going to be left out in the light. I doubt they are very lightfast, but that doesn't matter if you are doing art in sketch books or placing your finished pieces into a storage portfolio. Bottom line- the full cost without discount or sale is a little steep, but if you can snatch them up on sale, go for it. They are very nice and I ordered several sets at different times as sales came up since I do like them that much.

These feel great to use, extremely close to Prismacolor pencils, very creamy, blends easily, vibrant colors. Beautiful color selection, I had a smile on my face while swatching. I almost took a star off because of the gold lettering, I had to use a headlamp magnifier to read the color names. I wish manufacturers would stop this practice, yes the gold looks pretty, but we like to be able to read the information on the pencil most of all. But, the quality of the pencils made me still give 5 stars. There is a rating system for lightfastness, but they don't state what system is used, so if that's important to you, be aware. They are rated up to 5 stars, and none of the colors are below a 3, even the pinks. Hmmmm. K They sharpen easily in an electric sharpener, no splintering or point breakage. These pencils are a joy to use. The tin case is sturdy enough, the inner trays are flimsy. I find it easier to use when my pencils are in a case, more convenient. I hope they come out with bigger sets in a pencil case, not a tin, I would buy them immediately. I highly recommend trying these. Worth every penny! Been using these pencils for a couple of weeks now, love them more every day, hardly use my Prismas unless I need a certain color. I see that they went down a little in the price, plus a coupon, so I'm ordering another set today to make sure have enough. I wish they would come out with a bigger set, or have the option of no tin, I always use a pencil case. They must have figured out the Prisma formula, I can't get over how these seem identical. So creamy and easy to blend! Again, I highly recommend!

but at this price point they are actually quite good. Great for kids who have outgrown Crayons, beginners in adult coloring and anyone who just wants a fun set of pencils to play with. Have fun coloring!!!

I'm not an artist, but I am serious about coloring. I've bought many brands of pencils, from the expensive brands to the most frugal bargain brands. These pencils in my opinion are easier to work with than the expensive brands. They are buttery soft, layer well, and the color choices are great too. I finally found a pencil that has quality and I don't have buyers guilt. They hold a point well and sharpen without breaking . I can't say enough about these amazing pencils. Woomers are the best pencil I've used in the 15 years I've colored. I think even an artist would love them. ❤️ If you're a pencil junkie, and you're considering Woomers, buy them. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

I’m a colored pencil artist and have tried every budget pencil that you can imagine in the last 20 years. I have my favorite professional brand of pencils (FC Polychromos) but tend to “save” them for my important work. For every day art, that I’m not selling, I use budget pencils. I have favorites in wax based and oil based pencils, but up until now, I really hadn’t found a set of budget pencils that really made my heart sing. That is, until the Woomer brand was introduced. I think I have gone through 3or 4 boxes of 72 pencils - that alone says it all! My only complaint is that there are only 72 colors. Well, I’ve ordered the new colors and can hardly wait until they arrive! If you haven’t tried the Woomer brand yet, you are in for a wonderful treat! These pencils are the creamiest, budget pencils on the planet. They are pigment rich; and the colors are intense. Whether you are a colorist or a serious artist, you won’t regret purchasing these pencils. Within a few strokes of these wonderful pencils, you will quickly wonder how you ever lived without them! lol. I adore these pencils. Until the new colors were released, my only complaint was I wanted more colors. I guess I’ll have to think of something else to complain about; lol. Yes these pencils are that wonderful! Y’all have a blessed and very colorful day!

These are probably the best budget colored pencils I've seen. They're soft, smooth, and saturated. Much better color payoff and blending than than Arrtx pencils! I like these better than Chromaflow too. Definitely recommend them. I haven't had breakage issues, as long as you know how to treat soft pencils, you shouldn't have any problems.

There are some good things about these pencils but...the leads keep breaking. Maybe it's just the set I got, but I have to review them based on what I received. I watched an unboxing of these on Youtube and saw that the person received them in a poly bag mailer which I thought was just a terrible way to mail and receive colored pencils. So, what did I do? I made sure to purchase these along with other items that I knew would come in a box as opposed to ordering just the pencils. As planned, I received them in a cardboard box and the box itself had no signs of visible of damage at all. The pencils also come inside their own box - another layer of protections. They come in a tin and the tin was in perfect shape. I can't blame the constant breaking of the pencils on shipping. I use a T'gaal sharpener (possibly they don't like hand sharpening). So far, the majority of the pencils I have used have had broken cores. One was broken about an inch down into the pencil. Very annoying. This has made the experience of using these pretty poor. That being said, here are some good things: The presentation is really good and the pencils are very well packaged, and the they have a quality look. the colors are vibrant and there is a pretty good assortment for a 72 set. They are soft and creamy, similar to Prismacolor, but not identical. They sharpen to a very sharp point and hold the point pretty well - no crumbling of the point. They blend easily and layer well. I would go as far as saying that these are my favorite "budget" set that I have owned so far. One of my other favorites is Markart. I mostly use Artist quality professional pencils like Caran D'ache, Faber Castell etc., but I still enjoy having some lesser expensive options. I will always have a soft spot in my heart, and a love for good quality pencils that aren't expensive - after all, these are the types of pencils I began with and have brought me so many years of joy. If not for the breaking cores, I would really love and recommend these pencils.

UPDATE: the lightfastness results on these were pretty bad after just a few months. I've attached a photo. Great pencils to have fun with but not to display your art anywhere near a window. ..... These pencils are very smooshy similar to prismas. They layer very well. Solvents work great on them. The color range is fantastic. I highly recommend watching the review of them on Lana Gloschat's youtube channel she does the most gorgeous demo with them. I feel bad for liking these more than my polychromos but I'm pretty sure I do. They are very opaque and work well on colored paper as well. I plan on doing my own lightfastness test to see how they perform. Great job Woomer! (See update) My only complaint is that my set arrived missing a brown, #571. I received two #560s. I haven't missed it... but that might be because I have never seen it! Lol. Not really a complaint but the swatch sheet which is handy with all the info is kinda useless to me because the paper won't take the pencil pigment. All in all, I love them! Notes on the photos: The swatches pictured are done on white cotton hot press watercolor paper and canson mi teintes pastel paper. I am a fairly beginner colored pencil artist so my art is just an idea of what a beginner can do. The white paper is smooth bristol which was too smooth for any colored pencil in my opinion. The colored paper and the white flower were done on canson mi teintes.

The pencils color so soft creamy easy to color and mix shades

So happy with these pencils. They are soft and smooth to lay down, but aren't prone to breakage like the Prismas pencils do a lot. Excellent price in my opinion too, for such good quality pencils.

Son excelentes, bien pigmentados, si mina es resistente y gruesa. Solo que si estás acostumbrado a los lápices de colores de cera te costará acostumbraste a estos por qué son de aceite. Pero en una hoja de alto gramaje y lisa son excelentes

I like them for a budget pencils they are really good

ソフトコアと謡っている通り、芯は柔らか目で塗り心地なめらかだと思います。軸の色と芯の色も合っていて綺麗な色鉛筆です。残念なのは缶のケースに強くぶつけたようなへこみがある状態で届き、机に平らに置けない状態だったことと、１本カラーナンバーのところの印字が二重三重にずれて印字されたような状態で判読できないものがあったことです。
