Johanna: Die Farben sind kräftig, die Mine ist weich, die kratzen nicht und gehen nicht kaputt beim schärfen. Sehr zufrieden 👌

Irene7124: I love these pencils. I know the wax lead is not the top of the range medium preferred by most users, but the selection of colours is the best I have used. They are vibrant, easy to use but what sets these pencils apart for me is the array of unusual green and yellow shades, which I have yet to find in any other brands. Sometimes the pencils leave a slight bloom, but I am no professional and that aspect doesn't bother me too much.

Francesco: Questo sicuramente è un buon kit per chi intende spendere poco rispetto alla media; all’interno della confezione (molto bella) troviamo 72 matite colorate. Il tratto è morbido, non c’è bisogno di un eccessiva pressione per la saturazione del colore. Niente male

PatchesPatches: I’m usually a watercolorist or digital painter but I wanted to get back into colored pencils. I have used Arteza paints and sketchbooks and really like those so I went for these pencils.

Pros
- not waxy or dull. Vibrant colors that layer well.
- responds well to the solvents I tried. Baby oil and Meltz. The latter was superior.
- Works okay with a Prismcolor blender. Im not a huge fan of those in general as they can dull the colors being so waxy.
- Soft but I didn’t have any issues with breakage. Sharpens fine in a basic manual sharpener.

Neutrals
- the tin they come in is nice but the plastic trays that hold the pencils in layers are flimsy. I tend to draw on my lap so this may not annoy someone who sits at a desk. I moved them into a bag instead
- the paint on the barrel of the pencil doesn’t always quite match what’s inside.
- they are rated for lightfastedness

Cons
- The white pencil is not great. I replaced it with a Cretacolor Permanent White (available here on Amazon)
- lacking in reds and oranges

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: These pencils are fantastic for beginners! I got re-inspired after years of not drawing anything. I used to sketch when I was younger, but not often. After watching YouTube videos (credit to the artists (except cat and marble) whose drawings I imitated, just to see if I could), I began searching Amazon for products. I was not at all disappointed with these! As you can see, they blend smoothly. If you're looking to get back to drawing again, I highly recommend these. They won't easily smudge with accidental side-palm brushes, but to be safe, I'd recommend a sheet protector while you are coloring/shading. Extremely satisfied with this purchase. So much in fact I bought the fine liner markers as well!

ShaShaShaSha: Tengo bastante lápices de distintas marcas, mas profesionales y no tanto. Soy dibujante y me gustan probar cosas nuevas como lápices sobre todo. He oído sobre la marca Arteza diferentes opiniones y me decidí arriesgarme adquiriendo una lata de 72 lápices porque costaba 0,51€ / unidad.
La lata es muy bonita y compacta, parece ser durable. Los lápices están puestos en 3 pisos y sobre la tapa de la lata por dentro está la carta de los colores(72) puestos con sus números, el nombre en inglés y el rango de resistencia a la luz. En general son blandos, los colores son bonitos aunque haya según mi opinión muchas rosas y no son para aquellos a quienes gustan colores neutros. Las minas son resistentes y pone que miden 4mm. Para papel blanco están adecuados(hice mi carta de colores sobre papel color natural(sketchbook de la marca Hahnemühle con gramaje de 140g/m²). He podido hacer dos capas en general y no estoy muy satisfecho . Esta escrito que se pueden usar también para el papel negro, por esto hice la prueba( 4ta foto) y me quedé decepcionado porque no sale como en la foto que ha puesto la marca(hice prueba sobre papel color negro de Talens(Black sketchbook de...

KimmyDKimmyD: The pencils seem pretty good. But this is not what I ordered based on the Amazon photo. Also one pencil was missing words and seemed used. I’m still deciding if I want to keep it or not.
