Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

If you enjoy freehand drawing (or even the adult coloring books), I think you'll find these to be some wonderful pencils! Here's what I really like about them: - 120 pencils, so you can easily find a color that matches your drawing / coloring needs. - Quality, rich pigments are used with these pencils, so you can get bright colors on the page. - They blend nicely together, so you can overlay color to create new hues. - They do erase nicely from the page without creating colored "smears" on the paper. - Comfortable to hold and use over a period of time. - The cores are a good balance between soft and hard. Soft enough that you can easily apply color, but hard enough that the pencil doesn't magically "disappear" before your eyes with just a small amount of drawing. What I wish was different: - The plastic container has a chemical smell to it. (Remove the pencils and that quickly disappears.) - There are so many pencils, you really do need a coloring pencil container to keep them organized. - They don't react well to blending chemicals (such as Gamsol or paint thinner), which allow for a polished, smoothing application of color. Overall, if you're looking for a great product that's going to give you many fun hours of creative drawing (or coloring), it's highly recommended! I have included a freehand drawing that I produced with these colored pencils, plus a color swatch too.
