  • Worth the price!!!
Size: 120 Count (Pack of 1)
Okay, here begins the fangirling over my took-me-three-years-to-get-them Polychromos coloring pencils. I LOVE THEM!!! I did buy them a special fabric case, since I did not intend to keep them in the tin (which is actually a nice tin, by the way). I love colored pencils, and have a lot of different sets. Cheapies, mid-ranges, and my beloved Polychromos. I do tend to save these pencils for special artwork I plan to display. Color-fastness and all that good stuff. Once you sharpen these, you quickly learn they hold their points for a good bit of time. I use a lightish touch with them, but it goes beyond that I'm not pressing hard; they are made to last, and they do. They blend well, layer well, have rich pigmentation, and have a good-sized lead so they aren't going to get you through one picture and need replacing. The colors are gorgeous, with a full range. They are not super-hard, but you can't call them soft, either. They are what you would expect an oil pencil to be. But these are a high quality oil pencil, so I applaud their functionality as versatile colored pencils. As stated, they are vibrant, layer and blend, and feel really good in the hand. They do cost a bit, and it took awhile for me to fit them into the budget. I'm poor, so some will just order these and not have to do without some other supply they need more. These are worth the price, and a plus is that they are available open stock. I find that very attractive. If you are not sure you will like a harder pencil like a Polychromos, try buying one of the small sets, or a few pencils open stock, and see if you like them. If you do, start saving and looking for sales. You won't regret it. Quality is worth paying for. ... show more

  • Polychromos are awesome ๐Ÿ’˜๐Ÿซ ๐Ÿ’–
Size: 120 Count (Pack of 1)
This product from Germany Faber-Castell Polychromos are one of the best colored pencils in the world with the highest lightfast or light resistance that will last you a lifetime ๐Ÿ’˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿซ ๐Ÿ’–. I tried them up, they color wonderful as is was an extension of my own desires and designs to color with love and intent when coloring the things I want the most if anyone learns the important fundamental of color theory and layering also the fundamental if drawing, it will be key for having great art. These colored pencils are base of pure Oil and high quality pigments for any desired color of the user chooses to color withโ€ฆ smear resistant it is, durable yes depends of how harsh you use you own set but that doesnโ€™t mean it will be total resistant for harsh treatment ( all art tools must be treated with respect same with art itself and you will be rewarded with patience and grace). These Polychromos do wonders, its biggest weapons compared from the rest of the market is their ability to layer as many times as you want with the right quality paper and tooth to meet the desire results and maintain a sharp point in depth for amazing precision could compare with, the lead pigment last 3 times longer and has strong lead than any other brand I tried for example Holbein, Caran Dโ€™ache or prismacolor premier. Derwent lightfast and Derwent Chromaflow may be the exception and could be rival but somewhat of a lesser yet worthy of a match when it comes only with the advantages with pure Oil colored pencils that are renowned for the Polychromos which are translucent which helps layering colors with amazing color combinations in the world of art ๐Ÿ’–. The Polychromos are a wonderful set of 120 colors for any level from beginner to professional for those who can afford it or worthy if anyone knows who to use them to the fullest potential. For the price is totally worth it and no regrets because these are a true gem ๐Ÿ’Žโœจ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ”ต๐ŸงŠ๐ŸŒ˜ ๐Ÿ”ฎ I hope everyone enjoy this drawing I had done using with Polychromos both a sketch as guideline then a fully colored. She is a Heavenly Venerable Divine Dragon ๐Ÿ‰ Valkyrie archangel a powerful mage and someone which she is not joke to mess with. Thank you to anyone who finds this review helpful!! ๐ŸŒŸ Remember always love ๐Ÿ’— what you like to do and never give up!!! ... show more

  • Excellent quality Professional oil based pencils.
Size: 12 Count (Pack of 1)
As a life long artist and fan of coloring I use colored pencils quite a bit as my medium of choice. I am also am admitted pencil hoarder and have tried several dozens of different brands trying to find the perfect pencil, and while I have come close to finding it on a few occasions I often felt I was missing out on the professional pencils I used during my art school years which were Faber Castells. I purchased this smaller tin set before splurging for the 120 set to be sure that these would be what I long remembered, in fact they are. These pencils, like so many artists and colorists describe, are really soft and buttery to use. The cores are durable and retain a nice point when compared to the softer counter part brands which are wax based. These sharpen without any issues, the tips do not break when using a sharp, clean blade, quality pencil sharpener. Because these are oil based cores and are hard so to speak they produce more color with less lead than wax based cores, in other words my comparable name brand wax brands and not so name brands are constantly needing sharpened which in turn ends up wasting lead, these pencils do not. These pencils do lay down well and blend quite well, colors are rich and vibrant, and even with a small set of 12, you can obtain many different hues and or colors by layering. There is no doubt that this is "the" best professional set of pencils to own. Pricey? Yes, but worth every single penny. I am so happy with these pencils that I purchased the 120 set and can't wait for it to arrive. It is worth noting that working with quality oil based pencil is a different experience than wax based and so if you are in doubt I do suggest you purchase the 12 count tin set for yourself and see if you enjoy them as much as I and thousands of others do. ... show more
