Lovely set of themed coloured pencils. Nice range colours to be used in addition to a more complete set.Good quality pencils for amateur artist or hobbyist. Smooth, not scratchy and good coverage.Good price .Looking forward to using them in future pieces of artwork.

Let’s get the negative out of the way. Whether the colours in this set are ‘perfect for portraits’ as claimed is highly debatable. As you can see from my colour swatch chart, there are some alarmingly bright shades in there. No green either, I hate portrait sets that don’t include an olive green, not only for eyes, but many skin tones have green undertones. I could have layered to make a green (for the eyes) on more textured paper but this was an ordinary journal & didn’t have enough tooth.So I found the colour selection frustrating as the pencils themselves are lovely. They’re soft and blend and layer well (given a paper with a slight grain). I’m not sure about lightfastness, I’d have to do a little more research before I used them for any kind of commission or work that I may display myself. And you can use the softest of touch to get a very light layer which, given the brightness of the colours supplied, is just as well.Having said that, I loved the Davys Grey for building the shape of the face. From there, I just added a smattering of colour to suggest skin tones & shade. I’m going to re-do this portrait on heavyweight cartridge paper or watercolour paper & probably default back to my Polychromos & Luminence for the range of shades, perhaps with a watercolour pencil underpainting as I only have this one portrait set of the Castle Art pencils and I find the colour selection restrictive. I would highly recommend these pencils for anyone looking for budget pencils that behave like more professional pencils - they have the softness, blendability and layering capacity needed to work as you would with any of the more expensive lines on the right paper. I’d perhaps not rely too much on their colour selections though & perhaps recommend getting the largest set you can afford so you can make your own selection.

Value n quality all in one set as pictured brilliant

I was gifted a lovely colouring book so needed some appropriate colours to do it justice. Have to say these exceeded my expectations and are excellent. Soft and able to be blended they can be used to produce some lovely work. They also sharpen easily to a fine point if needed. Not had any issues with breakages and all in all I’m very pleased. These are great value and I won’t hesitate to buy more of these when I need them.

Great quality pencils. Lovely to use in soft, vivid colours. I like that the colour names are printed on each pencil, so you can find the correct colour each time and return to it. I would definitely buy these again.

These pencils are really good. The colours are strong and coverage perfect. Granddaughter is delighted with them so I will buy more sets in future.

The pencils are well packed and presented. Included is a tutorial which is quite fun to try (it has a printing error but not a problem). As for the pencils; they are comfortable and pleasant to use. Shading is good for the cost of the pencils. Overall a good set. However there a couple of things that are worth noting. The pencils are not available open box. This reduces their viability for the long term. Some of the shades will be used more than others and you will not be able to replace them without buying a new set. The second issue that is annoying is the seemingly constant offers offered by the company. They seem to offer discounts on sets frequently, good? Not if you have just bought a set. In addition, the company are extremely aggressive in their marketing, sales and discounts, this could be an issue for you. Support from the company is mixed but friendly. However for the cost of the pencils this is really not a big issue. They pencils are great while they last.

Ürün mükemmel ve hasarsız geldi ama mng kargoya teslim edilmişti. Profesyonel bir kargo gönderimi değildi.

The hook to buy this product was the box of course and the inspiring palette. I thought it would be just enough to sample colors for my projects. The pencils are actually of very nice quality and I am using them very often in my sketchbooks. I love them now. Excellent idea of packaging, very good quality, I recommend those pencils to really Everyone.

Très pigmentés
