Shelby Huff: I absolutely ADORE these colored pencils. They are artist-grade, and the price can't be beaten for the quality that you get. Several things make me feel this way.

The pencils are sturdy and sharpen really well. With a nice sharp pencil sharpener, you can get a great point without removing too much excess pencil, which means I know they will last for a while. Plus, I have not had a lead break, and I don't feel like it will ever be an issue.

The colors are really saturated, and the pigments are vibrant and go down easily on paper. They are buildable, so you can use the same pressure and add layers of color until you get the deepness you desire, and they layer and blend flawlessly. Honestly, the ability to layer and mix is on par with some pencils I have used that cost three and four times as much as these. The color also goes down super smoothly, meaning you get great coverage and end up blending less, which I find a welcome change.

These pencils also have a nice variety of premium artist's colors like cadmium, cobalt, and pthalo versions of many different colors. They provide you with a color test sheet so you can fill in all the boxes and see what all the...

Carlo R.: BELLISSIMI

Gabriele: Ich habe vor einiger Zeit bereits Stifte dieses Herstellers gekauft und bin rundum zufrieden. Die Farben sind weich und cremig, lassen sich hervorragend auftragen von ganz hell bis intensiv. Übereinanderlegen von Farben, Farbverläufe - alles kein Problem. Was mir auch noch sehr gut gefällt ist, daß ich beim Anspitzen bis jetzt noch keine abgebrochene Mine hatte! Ist nicht ganz selbstverständlich. Außerdem gibt es keine "Kratzspuren" im Papier durch zu starken Druck beim Zeichnen, weil das gar nicht nötig ist, um dunklere Töne zu erhalten. Wie gesagt, für mich genau richtig. Ich bin bestens bedient mit Castle Art Supplies.

justme: 2021 update: I've been torn on whether I should update this review for a long time. I used my set earlier this year, and noticed a few things, now that I know more about using colored pencils as an adult. I paid just under $40 for this set, when they numbered, but unnamed (I can only tell I used a small coupon on the order, not if these were also on sale or what the full retail price was). After using Prismacolor Premier pencils, Polychromos, square Brutfurner (120), Deli (72 in tin with art depicting an Asian hut), and MarkArt (120), coloring with these was a bit more work than I expected. I used them on one image that I finished, but it lacked the color depth of a similar page I had finished with the square Brutfurner square set. A few weeks later, I started a new image with these, only to stop coloring it. It was just more work than I wanted to put my ailing dominant hand through. These are decent pencils, especially if you're learning. However, these are usually in the $50-55 range now (retail $69.99). If shoppers watch legitimate U.S. art supply sites, the 72 count set of Prismacolor Premier can often be picked up on sales for around $40. More rare, but still possible,...
