Polychromos Artists Color Pencils 24 In A Flat Metal Tin, Assorted, 110024

Amazing pencils, very good quality!

ممتاز

I like this product. It adds an intensity and depth of colour to my floral and vegetal drawings. These are the first set of polychromos I have ever acquired and would be happy to give other brands of polychromos a go too.

It is very bad quality and totaly fake 👎

So I’ve used quite a few colored pencils. Prismacolor was my favorite because I thought it could not get any better than Prismacolor. Come to figure out, it’s no longer my favorite colored pencil anymore. Polychromos is expensive, but the investment is worth it as these are very high quality. I’ve not had a single breakage after 4 full color drawings and they hold a point for a LONG time, they are very pigmented and layer beautifully, no wax bloom, beautiful colors, nice thick core, easy to hold and color with, they sharpen well and not to mention the lovely shavings smell of cedar wood! Knowing that each color is lightfast with no fade for a lifetime is icing on the cake. Polychromos is the best colored artist pencil I’ve ever used. I highly recommend these colored pencils to anyone who has the patience to use these correctly with the right paper to just buy these! It is not a waste of money and I’m getting a larger set.

Packaging: Seller(MSGH)/Amazon needs to improve the packaging for such costly/fragile items. It came with just the Amazon bag without any additional cardboard, etc for support due to which it was bent at few places. Luckily the pencils were not damaged. Pros: (reference : Orange peel drawing) 1) Nice colors (24 set good price. @1690/- seller MSGH). Lays down very well on paper. 2) Blends nicely with Baby oil (Johnson's) 3) Layers very well if paper is good or we can use oils to blend in-between and layer over it repeatedly. 4) Works well over watercolour or other pencils like Derwent Coloursoft. 5) Set of 24, if mixed as combo of every 2 pencils can produce good range of colours as seen in the attached chart. Cons: (Attached pics for bent tin) 1) Tin is very flimsy as noted by lot of others which doesn't help during shipping. But build quality is good since surface is very smooth without sharp edges. 2) White color is not very pigmented (compared to Coloursoft) but works for blending or when used with another colour. Note: Though I own the Derwent Coloursofts (favourite) and Artists (less pigmented, difficult to work) , I wanted to try something different before trying out the "Costly in India" Prismacolors eventually and I wasn't disappointed with the Polychromos. Definitely recommended 👍
