Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Best colored pencils ever! Vibrant colors, blends perfectly without needing any gamsol or odorless mineral spirits. I ended up buying the rest of the colors available. leads a little harder than Prismacolor Premier colored pencils but once I got used to the harder feeling, I will never go back to because of their quality hand tanked and I've wasted so much for broken leads and split casings. The hardness of these leads make the Polychromos last much longer than Prismacolors and they hold a point well. I sharpen them with a KUM long point, two stage sharpener , which is perfect. The leads are harder but not scratchy and as said above, lay down deeply saturated color easily. Right now I am using them in the Enchanted Forest adult coloring book by Johanna Basford.
