I'm very happy with the Platinum Soft Core Colored pencils. There are actually 72 different colors with NO DOUBLES! I love there are several shades of purples, blues, greens etc. with no two alike. They go on paper smoothly and blend fairly well, they're not Prismacolor but good enough for me. The pencils come in a nice sturdy tin case with dividers for each pencil. The pencils also sharpen great. Not one pencil has broke and I use them daily. I find these pencils to be well worth the price and I highly recommend them to any level of colorist.

I gave these a 4 star only because you have to press so hard to get the darker, richer color lay down. Otherwise, I love these. I own quite a lot of colored pencil sets. I am an aspiring colored pencil artist. I love sketching with my sketching pencils which I have a set of Derwents that my son gave me, a set of "Michaels" Artist Loft brand,  and I just treated myself to a set of Prismacolor Turquoise pencils. As for colored pencils, I started with Crayola, because of course their crayons are the best. When I started getting into the adult coloring books I splurged on a 48 set of Prismacolor Premiers. I immediately felt the difference. Then I purchased a 60 pc set of Prisma Scholars, which are just as good as the Premiers but less expensive. Then I purchased Prisma Verithins, also beautiful colored pencils. Then I found a set of Prangs at Walmart. A 48 set box, it was the only one they had so I took the Prangs over to the price scanner along with a set of the triangular Staedlers. I was amazed at the price of the Prangs. $3.50!!!!! I put the Staedlers back and took the Prangs. I remembered reading about a beautiful blue color in the Prangs, "Moonlight Blue". I had heard from previous reviews that quite often you get multiple pencils of the same color. I was very pleased that in my box there were two Moonlight Blue pencils. I bought a coloring book at Walmart Timeless Creations, but I found that the paper that was used is sort of rough and doesn't allow a smooth color lay down,  even with the butter soft Prismas. But when I used them with my better quality books, they colored like a dream, except that it requires a heavier pressure to make them lay down darker color. Hence the 4 stars. Prangs are great, right up there with the better quality pencils. They don't break easy,  they sharpen beautifully using my Prisma Scholar sharpener and the colors blend smoothly. If Prang would just fix the darker lay down of color, I have neuropathy in my hands from chemotherapy and it hurts my hand to press really hard, I would be totally in love with these!  They are a great partner with Prismas, and any other brand of colored pencil, and they are very inexpensive!  I would recommend them to anyone who colors, even professional artists.

I'm really pleased with the quality of these pencils! I use mine for my grown up coloring books (don't judge), and find the pencils to be smooth & the color vibrant!

I wanted colored pencils that would work for my coloring books - these are great!  I bought the separate pencil sharpener and it's a great set.

My newest fad is adult coloring books.  Some can be easy, while others can be so tedious and take forever to complete.  However by the end I am proud of works of art.  It is important to have colored pencils that have fine tips and offer smooth coloring, blending and shading.

Being that they are oil based, the colors are smooth and creamy when applying.  Unlike wax, they do not leave open non-colored gaps.  Oil based colors do not go on as dark as wax does, so you may have to go over several times to get the desired color you want.  The tips are strong and do not break easily, so ahead and put some pressure on them.

The colorful patterned pencil holder is a great way to keep them organized and ready for use.  There are 48 slots to fit all 48 pencils.

The color range is mostly yellow, green, brown and blue hues.  Some reds and purples, but nothing too bright or bold.  That is where blending will come to play.

I LOVE these colored pencils. This is my second purchase of Prismacolor colored pencils. My first ones were Scholars, and while I still love those, they are a hard core pencil. These are soft core, and the color just GLIDES on. Very little to no pressure is needed. Simply layer it on, and you have remarkable depth and intensity.
As far as other reviewer comments regarding the pencil leads breaking when trying to sharpen...my only comment on that is that I think that it is imperative that you have an EXCELLENT pencil sharpener. And the moment that the blades start to dull on that one, buy another really good one. Prismacolor themselves make one. Yes. It is expensive. However, the blades are so sharp, that it prevents lead breakage.
Mine arrived with only one of the sharpened ends broken. I was not and am not concerned. It happens. It didn't effect my ability to sharpen the pencil into a nice sharp point after the fact.
At the end of the day, I intend to always purchase Prismacolor. I hope to one day have the money available to invest in their 150 "pack". There has yet to be a color that I do not like, or like the way that it lays color down on the page.
Definitely worth the money, and definitely the BEST colored pencils on the market!

These pencils are wonderful and much better than your average crayola brand colored pencils. If you're looking for better quality colored pencils for an affordable price this is a fantastic choice. There is also a very diverse amount of colors that I have enjoyed using. The only reason I gave these pencils a 4/5 is because one of the pencils I recieved was broken.

So happy to find these crayons! Natural bees wax and no toxic ingredients. Bought these for my daughters first birthday, she loved them. Large enough for her to hold and hopefully not break! Color is vibrant and clear, not dull or to waxy. Comes in a nice tin to protect from breakage, arrived on time and in great shape. Would defintly recommend for a child's first set of crayons. Also, even though I supervise her while she uses them I can feel confidant that nothing bad will come of it if she accidentally eats them!

Great value for good quality pencils. They lay down color very nicely and are easily layered for shading and blending. For those who are going into the adult coloring; or any other craft activity that if you had to choose between these and say Prisma Premier soft core wax base or Faber Castell's polychromos oil base pencils I would definitely recommend these as these are excellent value and much nicer on your wallet.

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.

I previously liked and had all of prismacolor brand colored pencils but ordered a small set or polychromos and my loyalty has changed! I am now a loyal fan of polychromos, and all things Faber castell!  Although both pencils are more than adequate for normal projects, the artist or perfectionist will appreciate the smooth easy coverage of these oil based pencils.

These are great colored pencils for coloring books, but probably wouldn't recommend them to a professional or more discerning casual artist. They write smoothly and have the classic hexagonal pencil shape, so they're easy to hold even at different angles. The color they leave on the paper isn't as rich as I would like but because it leaves a lighter coat they're great for shading. Very nice packaging and the tips are durable and resistant to breakage. Great product!

These pencils are so smooth to color with! I was using "regular" colored pencils for my coloring books but I found that my hand got sore easily and the colors were rather dull. These pencils are definitely a step up in quality and ease of use! My only concern is that there are a few shades that are very similar to each other so I think I'm coloring with a different color but it looks the same on paper. The new pencils also have a weird Elmer's glue smell to them but it makes up for it with its quality.

I love these colored pencils! I bought them to use with the stencils I bought. I even bought replacement colored lead for when I run these down. They work great!

I wasn't sure about the pencils after I read some of the reviews but I thought 'why not'? I received them today and couldn't be happier. I love the choice of the colors! Definitely would buy again. Great for shading and burnishing!

Wonderful pencils in a great color range! They aren't as soft as Prismacolor pencils, which gives me more control over the details I like to include in my drawings. I've already completed a watercolor painting where I used these Mitsubishi Uni pencils to create some additional textures and details to the work. I look forward to using them in the future on their own in a drawing. I'd also like to add that the case for the Mitsubishi Uni pencils is very well constructed and a great way to store the pencils.
