Castle Art Supplies 72 Colouring Pencils Set for Adults - Soft Core

Lovely to work with. "Buildable" colours so darker/lighter of the same shade. Creamy as suggested in the name. Am finding it difficult to find a nice sharpener that doesn't rip the wood or eat too much of the pencil. Pleased overall. Especially as I purchased in the sale. I have lots of castle art products. They're not the cheapest but I think you get what you pay for. The original website of Castle also does bundles..with extra discounts. Comes in a nice tin so easy to keep tidy and to hand. Plastic inserts is the only thing that lets it down..but maybe that's just me

Fantastic set of good quality pencils, excellent ability to blend and such a great variety of colours to suit everything. Where they are a good quality it makes them strong and durable which is always good when using pencils last thing you want is the breaking too easily. Comes with a lovely little book to help you and also the colour sheet is great added touch.

I am so happy with this colouring pencils set! The pencils come in a black tin. There were no scratches or dents. I like the the way the pencils look - the barrels are round, black with coloured tips. I believe the black colour of barrels adds "a touch of elegance" - the pencils do not look ordinary at all. The pencils do not require much pressure - they are soft and easy to blend and it is really important while colouring bigger areas. It is also important that they do not break if you press harder. I also like the colours variety. In my opinion a 72-pieces pack is an excellent base to start with even in more seriouls drawing. There is just one thing I am missing in this pencils set - either the colour numbers or both: numbers and names. In my opinion it is essential to know which colors make the "colour family" and can be used together to obtain the shading effect. I am planning to number the colours myself and build a colour blending chart - I am used to colouring with markers and colour blending charts are starting poing in every work I make. Overall, it is a very good pencils set, at a very affordable price.

3 trays quality looks very good. Comes with colour pallette

These are really great colouring pencils and very professional looking ...I have had lots of fun with my artwork using them

Perfect for shading. Contains a colour chart to be filled with each colour. Good buy and value for money

Lovely pencils, really good quality

Stunning set of pencils. Wonder array of colours that are all names and in a lovely tin. Comes with a very useful guide . They blend well and compared to silas pencils they are amazing value for money. Maybe professionals might want higher quality that have better lightfast ratings but these are more then enough for learners of coloured pencil work.

trés trés bien j'en suis bien contente crayons de bonnes qualité et rangement facile

Highly recommend.

Belle couleurs en bon état pas bris ou de crayons cassés très contente reçu très rapidement!

Son unos lápices de gran calidad a un precio muy bueno. Son bastante blandos pero no demasiado. Consiguen una saturación cromática bastante rápida si presionas un poco más. La paleta de color está peor estructurada en la zona de los matices azules y verdes, abunda en colores oscuros muy próximos en tono (claro-oscuro) y se echan en falta más tonos medios y claros. El color de testigo de la base se corresponde mal con el color propio de la barra y vendría bien que estuviesen al menos numerados para poder relacionarlos con la carta guía que se puede hacer uno mismo (adjunto la que hice yo). La caja metálica es negro mate al igual que los lápices pero debería tener un poco más de anchura para disponer unas ranuras que permitan acomodar bien los lápices y que no se monten entre sí como ocurre. Los lápices tienen un acabado muy bueno y un tacto muy agradable, la madera que usan, ignoro cual, es de una fibra fina y compacta y permite un cono de afilado muy liso, sin astillado. La barra me responde muy bien al afilador, no se me ha roto ninguna y los he afilado todos dos o tres veces ya. Añado una copia/versión de este Van Gogh. Los colores cálidos rojo-amarillos se consiguen fácil y rápido, son más problemáticos los tonos azul pálido de las paredes porque el azul más claro disponible es todavía oscuro y hay que trabajar más fusionando con blanco insistentemente. Los azules intensos de las puertas sin embargo se consiguen fácilmente.

it's beautiful set and also gives perfect blending. It's been a year using those pencils.. I love them. and it is durable.
