Products by LYRA Sketching Pencils Colouring Pencils Markers Pastels & more Review: Definitely not just for kids. Lovely pencils. - These enormous pencils have the fattest core (6.25mm) of any coloured pencil I own, exceeding the even the Albrecht Durer Magnus at 5.3 mm. The big leads of this collection of skin tones lay down smoothly and cover every shade from a dark blackish brown through to a pale flesh tone that should, with the addition of a white to blend them, provide enough options for most skin colours. They are presumably oil and/or wax based as they are waterproof and feel similar to my Lyra Polycolours but have a creamier texture. Don't expect to create very fine detail with this thick a core but they do hold a point better than I expected. The fat unlacquered hexagonal barrel sits very comfortably in the hand and the vast core lays down colour easily and quickly. The only downsides are that there are no shade names on the pencils and no information on light fastness. I can forgive this as they are aimed at kids and it was easy enough to number them 1 - 12 with a Sharpie and will keep them for sketching. (I have written to Lyra asking for light fastness details and will update this if I get any information. ) I am prepared to forgive them a lot since I find them delightful. The ability to quickly apply large areas of dense colour almost as easily as with pastel pencils but with less mess or need for fixing is intoxicating and I am rapidly convincing myself that I need the rest of the colours. (UPDATE : I did buy the tin of 18 and have posted a photo of a piece along with a 5 star review of them. ) These are tremendous value for money and far better quality than I expected. They also have the advantage of being more robust than pastel pencils to transport which is a distinct plus for a klutz like me. These are definitely not just for little kids and I recommend them.

The soft lead is so rich in pigment that they are nicer than felt tips, the colours are vibrantly intense, totally unlike standard colouring pencils. They are truly satisfying and addictively moreish to colour with. I have illustrated a story I wrote with them, and they can do everything from subtle blending of soft shades to bright bold strokes and blocks of solid colour. I just love them and will not be sharing them with anyone! If you buy them you will be unable to use any other pencil afterwards and will throw away all your cheap colouring pencils.
