Castle Art Supplies 120 Colored Pencils Zipper-Case Set | Quality Soft Core Colored Leads for Adult Artists, Professionals and Colorists | In Neat, Strong Carry-Anywhere Zipper Case

They are wonderful colouring pencils . They are made in China like most of colouring pencils our days. What is not a bad thing to hold the price reasonable. This set has not the chemical stench like my first castle art supplies 120 set purchased nov.2018 which needed a week airing ! This new set scent is wood ! The soft case is very well made , not one split pencil and no breakage !!!! Of course you have to invest in a decent sharpener. Mine is a Helix desktop crank handle , a really useful buy . The colours are bright and beautiful. The palette is all’s and more what you ever need on variety. They are highly pigmented and not to soft or to hard . They can hold a fine point for detailed work . I owe also the full set of goldfaber(48) of faber-castell and some polychromos . I don’t understand the hype around them. They are just not for me , the polys I mean . Castle art are in my opinion much like goldfaber . But with a much larger colour range . Like with most colouring pencils the very light colours need a bit more work than the rest . I use them for Adult colouring books and they are just perfect. I was lucky, I got the 120 set middle of March As a special offer for £29.99. But I would pay the regular price for them . They blend and layer beautifully. There is nothing not likeable in this set , for less than £0.38 per pencil including a superb case with place for a few accessories like rubber and sharpener I can only advise to buy it before it is again sold out ! Like so many times the past months .

got it during a sales. love that it comes with a case! lovely colours and easy to blend.

I've included as many photos as possible because I am so impressed by this brand. I am not an artist but I enjoy coloring. This set is so well packaged for shipment, it was in three boxes. First, I purchased the 120 color pencil set, the case itself is really sturdy, I won't need anything more durable however, I do wish there was a carrying handle on the side of the case. When you open the case, you'll find a tutorial booklet, a color and product guide, a tester sheet, a help card, a booklet on care, color theory and techniques - this is wonderful for the beginner (like myself). Some reviews mentioned cracked or broken tips, I only had one that was cracked in half, once I removed the broken piece, I was able to use that half without it breaking further. If you're going to use the tester sheet, check each pencil to ensure it matches the number on the sheet, once I made it through the yellows and pinks, I assumed they were all in order, but some of my blues were not and I ended up coloring the wrong blocks on the sheet before I caught the mistake. When applying the pencils to paper, the color goes down like butter, it is so smooth and so beautiful to use, I never thought about colored pencils in that way before but these are top quality, just absolutely wow! Not one of them broke/splintered during coloring and I did use more pressure but the tips remained intact. The blending is just superb and the pigmentation is stunning. I haven't had to sharpen any pencils yet, so I can't write on this area to know how the tips will hold up, but Castle has provided sharpening techniques in their booklet (wish a sharpener was included). I love these pencils and the quality Castle Arts has put into these products. 💯 recommend.

Ich bin wirklich begeistert von diesem 120-teiligen Stifteset! Die Farben sind kräftig, lassen sich wunderbar miteinander mischen und ermöglichen sehr schöne Farbverläufe. Besonders positiv finde ich, dass die Spitzen stabil sind und nicht so leicht abbrechen, natürlich kommt es auch ein bisschen auf den Druck an, aber insgesamt sind sie wirklich robust. Sehr hilfreich ist auch die mitgelieferte Farbskala, mit der man schnell den Überblick behält und die passenden Farbtöne findet. Egal ob zum Zeichnen, Schattieren oder einfach zum Ausmalen – dieses Set bietet eine riesige Farbauswahl und macht richtig Freude beim Benutzen. Für den Preis bekommt man hier echt tolle Qualität!

Heel fijn om mee te kleuren!
