My daughter is a keen artist and likes quality brands and materials. She requested these specifically and they blend nicely with great colours. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good quality *by M***A on 2 December 2025* I recommend it. Consistent with the description. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dodgy batch - beware! *by S***S on 13 April 2020* **I contacted Derwent and explained the issues outline below. They replaced the specific colours I was having issues with and, though not professional quality (obviously), I have a set of consistent pencils that are actually useful and worth the money. Thank you Derwent for the excellent customer service!** Having used and enjoyed Derwent grahite pencils for some time, I had enough confidence in the brand buy this set of coloured pencils. OK, I knew they were the 'academy' ones, and that they wouldn't be as good as the more professional choice. However, the quality of some of the pencils renders the set virtually useless for more than just basic 'colouring in'. Firstly, the colours of some pencils are questionable - the 'deep red' is not significantly different from the 'red', the 'light blue' is a good deal darker than the 'blue' the 'lime green' and 'acid yellow' are pretty similar and the black is nothing more than a dark gray. Secondly is how the pencils lay down pigment. With some of the pencils they hardly lay down any colour at all. with the purple pencil you feel like you're tearing through the paper just to get some colour on the page. same with 'rose'and blue. Finally, they don't blend all that well. Some colours do, but a lot simply do not. Same thing with burnishing. Having used more expensive pencils in the past, I'd recommend that you don't cut corners, and just go straight to professional grade pencils. You'll have a lot more fun, create more vibrant art, and be a whole lot less frustrated in the process. This purchase feels a lot like £15 wasted. ## Frequently Bought Together - Derwent Academy Colored Pencils, 3.3mm Core, Metal Tin, 24 Count (2301938) - Derwent Twin Hole Pencil Sharpener, Black, 11.5mm & 8.25mm - Derwent Blender and Burnisher Pencil Set, Drawing, Art Supplies (2301774) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/47890199-derwent-academy-colouring-pencils-set-of-24-in-tin-box](https://www.desertcart.us/products/47890199-derwent-academy-colouring-pencils-set-of-24-in-tin-box) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-21*
