Beautiful pencils, a pleasure to use.

Despite the negative reviews I have read about these pencils breaking and being difficult to sharpen for me they have been perfect.  Not one broken pencil and I use a manual staedtler pencil sharpener and get a beautiful point.  The colors lay down richly and as smooth as butter.  They blend beautifully and give vibrant colors.  This is my second set, I bought the smaller one first and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.  I find I use them even more than my copics.

One of my favourite sets of pencils!  The colours are bright, seem to be lightfast, & are soft to use, yet are a strong enough of a core to hold a good point...
the ONLY  downside...  make sure you have a good power Sharpener on hand, as they do come unsharpened!  Well worth the time to sharpen them, though!

I love the feel of the pencils when I color with them.  The shades of color is terrific.  The only problem I have with  Derwents pencils is that some of them have broken leads and I end up sharpening them until there is very little of the pencil that is actually used.

This is a great set of pencils. You will be very happy as to the various colors of all the pencils. This is a great buy and it arrives on time. This would be a great present for young or old.

Of course these aren't as buttery as Prismacolors, but they're still bright on paper and go on smooth. The color selection is outstanding. There are so many purples and pinks that I'm very happy about. There seems to be a shortage with purples in the colored pencil industry and an overabundance of blues and greens. I like the tin it came in. It was packaged great, no pencils where broken and all were sharpened to a nice point. For the price and quality, I'd definitely buy them again or give them as a gift.

I am absolutely in love with these pencils. If you are on the fence about these don't be. They blend very well. A great addition to my watercolor arts.

these are awesome pencils. I love that they look like normal pencils as well. Easy to turn the end to receive more lead. The eraser is very stable, but when you pull it enough it comes out to refill the lead.

This is  a wonderful set of pencils. I was surprised and how well they blended and how smoothly the lay down was. For the price, this is one of the better sets out there. I do a lot of grayscale and though, I do love my Prismacolors, they are sometimes too opaque for grayscale. These are fantastic, a great variety of colors and they actually have the color printed on the pencil! They came as expected, and not one single tip was chipped or broken, when I received them.

This is my favorite set of colored pencils.  I truly enjoy working with Charcoal because it blends so well.  I have several sets of colored pencils and while each set have their own pluses and minuses, I just enjoy these the most.  (Every Artist has their own favorite medium.  To be fair I am a newer artist.)  This is also my favorite because some of the other sets I have do not have the selection of colors that this one has.  For example some of the other sets I have duplicate the same color over and over with just the change of the color name.  The colors although named differently are just too similar.  THAT IS NOT THE CASE WITH THE 60 SET OF CARB-OTHELLO.  YOU REALLY GET A GREAT SELECTION OF COLORS AND THE CHACO IS SO DARN WORKABLE.  The one warning I would give about this product is that since charcoal is so soft you must be careful when using a pencil sharpener.  If you are not keeping an eye on the sharpener, your pencil will be ground to dust in a heartbeat.

The drawing attached The original was found in a movie I watched about Beautiful Black Women's hair.  The other is the drawing I did from the original.  I do not know who the original author is but I did not do them justice.  My drawing is, of course, the one with the tan background.

Wonderful color choices, the pencils are exceptional, the colors lay down evenly, making it easy to blend in your drawings.

I have these pencils and I use them frequently to create watercolor images that I turn into handmade greeting cards. They draw smoothly and the colors are beautifully vibrant.

I love these additions to my collection. They are versatile, easy to blend. True to color and don't leave a wax build up finish. They come in a durable tin ready to be used. I would recommend these pencils! I'm partial to Derwent brand and some prisma but I look forward to using them all together.

These are terrific pencils.  They are smooth and color is bright and crisp.  As good if not better than Prism, and the price is terrific.  I highly recommend them.  I will purchase them again.

I am very happy with this set of pencils . I have prismacolor and a lot of other brands but the colors and feel of these are wonderful.  I also received a nice letter and a umbrella as a thank you for ordering . I will definitely look for others products from this company . They do come in a plastic case with a handle but I  put them into a case I had here already ...

This is a great set of colored pencils.  They write smoothly and they don't break easily after or during sharpening like so many others do.  They lay down a nice even stroke of color.  Feel like professional quality, but are very affordable.

I'm so glad that I decided to go ahead and purchase these colored pencils. The colors go on very smooth and there are many shades to choose from. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that some of the pencils were kind of dull and the wood on them seemed to be bad. I'll upload a photo of what I mean, but other than that, great pencils!

Really enjoy these pencils. To be honest I'm not coming from a pencils background so much as Ph. Martin's inks and brushes. These pencils give the control and precision of a pencil, but I can achieve an ink-like aesthetic I previously didn't see with most watercolor options. Vivid, easy, beautiful. I'm going to up to the 72 pack soon.
