Amazon Customer: They arrived safely in their undamaged metall box. Opening the box, the first impression is very positive of well and carefully made pencils. Putting them to work you'll discover how creamy and pigmented they are. Actually the feeking is almost that of soft oil pastels! And indeed, they so nicely draw over oil pastels! They can give you the possibility to draw fine details something so missed if you are into oil pastels! Excellent pencils!

huune: 昔から何本か使ってたのでセール中にセットで買ってみました。中にはグレー系の似たような色もありますが、このセットで描くとシックで素晴らしい色味が得られます。
書き心地もしっとりして好きなのでたくさん使おうと思います。

vixvix: I liked the natural colours and the pencils are very soft (so more for colouring in than drawing as you can’t get detail with them being so soft). Was enjoying them until I tried to sharpen one (with a high quality sharpener) and the wood split. Maybe as the core is so thick the wood surrounding is thin meaning it breaks easily. Shame. Sent them back.

LadySeshiiria: I found a smaller pack at a local art store and fell in love with them so I begged my husband for a larger package. 😅🤣 Anyway the smoothness is so much nicer than prismacolor, and they are far more durable and break less. The colors are beautiful for landscape and portrait art! These look great on colored and textured papers by Strathmore!

Unknown: Great, if you happen to only need the colors available. They're all muddy colors, so blending them isn't helpful. I'll probably just use them along with other sets of pencils. They could make fine foundation layers.

Sara L.: These are one of my favorite colored pencils (tied with Holbein) 🥰. Excellent quality, a true soft core and dreamy colors.

Holbein and Derwent Drawing are my favorites out of all the pencils I’ve tried because they have the least “dry” and least scratchy sensation when using. As a highly sensitive person in all the sensory ways, I’ve always hated colored pencils because of the scratchy noise and feeling, as well as the crayon-esque coverage/texture. I’ve been excited to find that some brands don’t have this issue, which has awakened a new mixed media lane for me ☺️

Here’s my breakdown of all the pencils I’ve tried:

Holbein — high-end feel, a softer pencil (though not so soft you can’t apply pressure easily or control details), lays down smoothly with no scratchy sound or feeling, oily rather than dry feeling, really covers solidly with ease, shows up beautifully over watercolor & gouache. Lovely and wide color selection.

Derwent Drawing — the softest pencil out there I’ve tried so far. The softness does make it a bit harder to control details unless you have a very sharp point. Also the thickest pencil I’ve tried...
