Review: Wonderful and out of the world! - I am truely beginner for using the pencils, but this has been a really fun using these pencils as they are vivid and highly pigmented in nature. They shine and blend very well. The only thing is required a lot of practice to get the desired results and you need patience with the pencils as they are hard and techniques to use them is going from light shade to dark shade and putting layers and layers. In that way they do not get smudged. But, the guide book which comes with the colors should contain the knowledge about mixing colors to produce a different color. So, u need to produce colors by experiments. As comparing with the Derwent vex based pencils, they are very different and stay sharp and long time. No need to sharpen frequently. The have become my facourite. The price u pay for them is really fade in front of the quality of these pencils. One and last thing u can use the paraffin oil like baby oil for smooth blending.
Review: Excellent color pencils ✏️ - I had bought this set of 60 pencils 2 years back and I had paid 14000 back then. However, I don’t regret because I really love the way these pencils are created and the results they provide. One needs to understand how to use them to be able to create great paintings. These pencils are capable of doing that as long as you know what you’re doing. Coming to the build quality I’d say it’s superior. Pencils look great and it’s fun to handle them. I’ve used them and till date I’v never experienced breakage issues. I sometimes have dropped a few of my pencils accidentally but luckily there was no damage caused to the innner lead of the pencil. It explains the quality of the wax they have used. They blend smoothly on paper and you can do a lot of layering. The results you achieve by using odourless mineral spirits is awesome. If you’re serious about color pencil medium I’d say you should not hesitate because it’s worth considering the quality they offer. I hope this review is helpful 👍🏻

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can this be used to write on wax colors like graphite pencils?**
A: No

**Q: Is it good fot the skin tones?**
A: Well, it depends upon the type of skin tone you are looking for. Perhaps, you could try mixing one of these Burnt ochre (#cc7722), Dark cadmium orange(#ed872d), Walnut brown (#5d432c) with White. 

One way you can find out is by using online color to get the equivalent hex codes and then mix them.  If you get the desired result, then probably you should get the same result with color pencils.

**Q: Does this pencil stay and visible on oil pastel?**
A: I think they will. I never tried it, so, can't guarantee that it will work or not.

**Q: is it good for coloring skin tones making potraits**
A: yes

Wonderful colour pencils. Absolutely worth it if you like drawing and colouring and shading. I bought the 12 pencil set to try them out. Smooth as butter on the paper and also work very well under and over watercolours.
