Gold Standard 120 Colouring Pencils Set | Quality Oil-based Coloured Cores Stay Sharper, Tougher Against Breakage | For Adult Artists, Colourists | In Presentation Tin Box

When I first started coloring, I bought the standard set of Castle Arts pencils (not the Gold Standard pencils), but found them difficult to work with- I thought they were scratchy, hard to blend, and difficult to lay down color. I read some reviews, and tried out some other pencils. Fast forward two years, and I've amassed quite a collection of pencils that I love. Recently, I'd heard good things about the Gold Standard pencils, and decided to give the Castle Arts another try. I've been very pleasantly surprised! The color range is fantastic, and they are a nice "in between" pencil. The color lays down easily, and they have a slightly creamy texture that blends well (similar to a prismacolor) but they keep a sharper point and don't crumble/break easily or give off a lot of dust (more like a poly), which makes them great for smaller detail work. They also mix well with the Castle Arts pastel pencils (which I also highly recommend) and that allows for a wider range of light colors/highlights. The only downside is that they don't erase as well as some others-but that seems a small tradeoff for a nice basic pencil that I can (and do) use often. I can recommend these are a good set for beginners, as well as a great addition for someone more advanced.

Bought these as replacement from wax based from same brand, and wanted to upgrade and just needed new pencils. Tried Pr********* and they were way too soft and used up FAST. These are a DREAM come true!! Beautiful colors, easy blending, and don’t sharpen away to nothing as they’re used. ( harder than wax pencils even though they are oil based). No, REALLY!! Would HIGHLY recommend as a great first set, and you won’t ever need anything else!! No individual pencil replacements, . Quality is wonderful!

My wife has a lot of the other Castle Arts sets and really wanted this one because they stay sharp longer since they aren't as soft which helps when adding a lot of detail. Castle is a good quality brand while staying affordable compared to Prismacolor. My wife was really excited about the color selection as well since she has the big set of the other Castle pencils and the colors aren't identical.

They do still break quite a bit. They have good selection of colors. They are smooth to color with, but I do find it a tad difficult to shade with them. Some of the colors, notably oranges and yellows don’t seem to be blended enough (?) because occasionally red will suddenly appear mid-color.

Like these a lot. Have a nice and smooth stride. Great oil based pencil. Do not have to use a lot of push down pressure to get desired coverage and color. The colors of this pack remind me of subtle earth tones. They are nice variety and the colors all scheme together.

I love these pencils. They help me to practice my values, Hughes shades, contrast, and color study as I use them in coloring books mostly, I have not stepped out of the coloring book real to start actually doing my own custom painting with them I’ve tried using alcohol to help smooth out And blend some of the colors. but they do work well with orderless mineral spirits. They are vibrant creamy, smooth, texture satisfying to work with and if you look at the photos, I’m sharing. I think you’ll agree. they do complete a beautiful rendering in a coloring book on cheap paper. I haven’t dared to try them on artist grade paper yes but I’m planning to in the future.

Excellent color and quality. I love the numbering and color on the tip makes it easy to get it right and keep the tools organized.

I love these colored pencils. They blend well and work well with other brand pencils too. The colors go on smoothly and layer well. I used a colorless blender with these and it works great at finishing the picture. I attached 2 pics I did the girl is blue is all castle art gold and pasteltint pencils the girl in green is a combo of luminescent, faber Castel and castle art gold. I would recommend these to anyone. The pice point is great and they work very well. What a wonderful product!

Güzel paketlenmisti hiç sorunsuz teslimat yapıldı boya kalitesinden memnun kaldım daha önce manomi seti kullanıyordum onuda sevdim fakat bu set daha çeşitli tonlara sahip olması nedenli tercih ettim. hobi amacıyla aldığımdan ihtiyacımı karşılar diye düşünüyorum 56 metalik 48 adet pastel tonu mevcut ve çok guzeller kalitesinden çok şüphe ettim ama İyiki tercih etmişim.Ufak bir kusuru mevcut 115 no.lu kalem yok yerine farklı renkten 2 adet konmuş.

Gostei muito deles. Fácil de apontar no apontador de manivela, não quebrei nenhuma ponta. O lápis é macio sem mole. Achei a consistência ideal. Vou aproveitar muito.

Lovely pencils, great quality. Smooth, cover well and great. for shading.
