Faber-Castell Art & Graphic Polychromos Colour Pencil, Multicoloured, Tin Of 60, For Art, Craft, Drawing, Sketching, Home, School, University, Colouring

Oh my goodness. Ive always used Kalour coloured pencils ive found to be the best bargain pencils but thought these are on sale lets go for it! Theres a huge difference lol even the colours on the page compared to my kalour coloured page ive done in a hanna karlzon colouring book u can see a big difference in quality the coloured actually look more expensive and i dont have to worry about what ive coloured fading over time with them being lightfast pencils. They are hard pencils but they barely need sharpening and they never break they keep a sharp point which made me realise they will last a really long time compared to the bargain once ive replaced a fee sets already but i bet these will last the year. Definatly qorse the mo ey now that i know this. They came sealed as well and wrapped up well so you know they havnt been touched since factory sealed. Its the only set i need as well for my colouring books. All the colours i need are there. The giant sets i find overwhelming and small sets never have enough shades. Ill just keep replacing this set. I dont like having lots of different pencils just one that does it all. I will buy again from here im so happy.

I have wanted artist grade pencils for a long time. I had a small set of 12 of s other brand not the same as these, but had in mind one of two choices, these or prismacolour. I read reviews on amazon and on artists websites gleaning knowledge on each. After some time it became obvious to me that prismascoliyr was the way to go. When I received the package I hoped they arrived intact, and wasn't disappointed. The pencils are set out in groups of 10 in one row of three in two tiers, 60 pencils in total. I had hoped they'd be in colour wheel order but they weren't, that wasn't an issue I merely changed them to how I wanted them ordered. They were all nicely pointed and had the names etched clearly on the barrel of each pencil, with good range of each colour. I was impressed with how vivid the colours were and how well they blended with each other. These are oil not wax pencils and so I wasn't sure how they'd react. I had bought a blending pencil from a different make, but for initial colouring they worked well together blending with each other in the family colour groups. I tried with blending those from different colour groups and was happy with how they blended too. The nibs are sturdy and strong, not brittle at all so took a good session of colouring, with only one tip breaking a tiny piece off. This I feel was more down to that that pencil was slightly too pointed to a too fine tip but the breakage was minimal and didnt affect my use of it as was still a nice sharp point. None I used broke, all appear to be made with high quality in mind. All the wood looks clean and new duty no dry or cracked wood, no gaps, no imperfections. The colours are vivid and true. With such a decent range of each colour, it's possible to colour match with most things you will wish to draw and colour. Those that you don't have, will be easy to mix and blend from those in the palette. Highly recommend.

As a relative novice to coloured pencils, these were a considered and relatively expensive purchase - there are a lot of options out there, at varying price points, and a lot of opinions too. Having used relatively cheap pencils before, I must say these pencils are a delight to use. Not only do they look good and feel good in the hand, they perform better than I could have ever hoped for. The colour range in this set 60 is about perfect - I did subsequently buy the ivory, sky blue and cinnamon (or light flesh) pencils to augment the range a little, but I don't think I'll need any more. The way the colours lay down on the paper is fantastic - you can go from delicate application to intense colour very easily without ever feeling that you're going to rip through the paper. And the vibrancy and intensity of the colours are absolutely superb. Blending and layering with these pencils is so easy. The colours just melt into each other. Burnishing is simple too - they react well to application of a white or burnishing pencil and solvent. I really can't fault these pencils. If, like me, you've spent an inordinate amount of time reading reviews and debating which pencils to buy, just buy these. You will not be disappointed.

Fabre castle are a great selection of pastels I love using them for their variety and how easy they are to put on pastel paper, they are soft and easy to use I use these as my go to all the time when drawing and used with other pastel pencils along side them. I have now ordered another pack as spares as I draw all the time. Highly recommend

I'm a novice with regards to colouring pencils and I thought all coloured pencils were the same! Oh how wrong I was! I decided to treat myself to these after my rather battered cheaper sets weren't performing as well as I would have liked. This set retails at £120 and I wouldn't have believed it unless I saw them in an art shop on holiday so to get them for half price is amazing. I have a wrist condition (de'quervains) which means I cannot put a lot of pressure on when colouring as my wrist aches. These pencils are brilliant. I hardly have to put any pressure on to get the colour I desire. They blend very easily and the colours are true to the barrel colour. I can not recommend these pencils highly enough, not sure I would pay the full retail price though!

I've been through quite a few different brands in my quest to find the pencil for colouring books. All of those I tried were awful leaving nasty scratch marks in the paper and looked dull with washed out colour. This wasn't the case at all with these pencils. Colours are vivid and glide along the paper effortlessly. It's easy to layer colours and add more depth to your colouring and as a result the finished article is much improved. They are pretty pricey as far as pencils go but if you like colouring in for a hobby then these are the perfect tool. I wasn't sure whether to go for a smaller set due to the price but I bit the bullet and went for the set of 60. I'm so glad I did, if I could have afforded it I would have gone for the full set of 120. A lot of the colours may look the same but they are slightly different and this works a charm when layering colours and adding depth to pictures.

I have to say I was disappointed when I opened my package. The tin was quite damaged and had two large dents in it. The packaging was completely undamaged and inside a second parcel, which means this item was sent out to me this way, not damaged en route. That's not really acceptable. I can't afford pencils of this quality and I saved for a very long time to be able to treat myself to this set. So I would have liked that I was sent an item that was in a perfect, new condition. That said, I cannot fault the quality of the pencils. They are beautiful to use. The colours lay down so easily and blend like a dream. They are so much nicer to use than cheaper pencils. I would absolutely have given 5 stars if my pencils had arrived in an undamaged tin.

These colour pencils are probably the best colour pencils for professional and hobbyist purposes at this price range. They do cost a lot but I wanted to treat myself to what I think are the best now I have time to enjoy my art .Buy with confidence as I am very happy with my purchase.

My reward to myself!! I absolutely love these pencils. High quality they feel perfect in my hands. Super easy to blend and create new colors!! I’m very happy and will purchase again in the future 🙏🙏

Beautiful color pencils.🎨🤩🐯🦁 But if I could go back in time, I would buy the 120 pencil set 😁 Insta - artmagicbyraisa 😼

Ma fille avait besoin de ce type de crayon ,(demander par son professeur )

Love these colour pencils! Love the quality, how they can be sharpened easily, how they are great for details and how they don't smudge while I work with them (unlike another well known brand from US).

Buenísimos. Ideal para mezclar colores, difuminar, suaves y luminosos.
