👍

I have just tried cheap ones before, and these are truly the best colored pencils I’ve ever used. Coloring with them is an absolute joy, and the pigment transfers beautifully from pencil to paper.

I am satisfied with my pencils, I have so many ways of blending them which gives me more colour combinations than I can count. It's a good quality, I'm especially satisfied they hardly ever break, a pet peeve of mine with other pencils. These pencils are also great both for amateurs and professionals, and they make me feel so satisfied sitting down to use.

I absolutely ADORE these colored pencils. They are artist-grade, and the price can't be beaten for the quality that you get. Several things make me feel this way. The pencils are sturdy and sharpen really well. With a nice sharp pencil sharpener, you can get a great point without removing too much excess pencil, which means I know they will last for a while. Plus, I have not had a lead break, and I don't feel like it will ever be an issue. The colors are really saturated, and the pigments are vibrant and go down easily on paper. They are buildable, so you can use the same pressure and add layers of color until you get the deepness you desire, and they layer and blend flawlessly. Honestly, the ability to layer and mix is on par with some pencils I have used that cost three and four times as much as these. The color also goes down super smoothly, meaning you get great coverage and end up blending less, which I find a welcome change. These pencils also have a nice variety of premium artist's colors like cadmium, cobalt, and pthalo versions of many different colors. They provide you with a color test sheet so you can fill in all the boxes and see what all the colors are without having to continuously test them whenever you want to use them. Additionally, the colors are all listed on the lid of the tin, so you can reference them when you need to. The case is beautiful and would make a lovely gift for a budding or an experienced artist, and it makes them feel kind of special, almost as if getting to use them is a treat or a reward. On top of this, in case you get a killer guide on how to use the pencils to obtain certain looks and techniques, you can use that any artist or novice should be grateful for. There was great info in it; they provided a way to contact them if anything is amiss with the pencils you receive. The most unexpected thing was the lovely message the company sent me about a week after receiving the set. It was so thoughtful and such a lovely part of the purchase. Taking the time to wish for my enjoyment and to let me know I was appreciated for the purchase I made was the icing on the cake of the whole thing. Such a personal touch is something that I think people miss, and for the company to go out of the way to say they appreciated the purchase and to wish me the best took this purchase to the next level, and I was already thrilled with my choice. So, overall, this was a fantastic purchase; I would recommend buying these to anyone. Whether you are a novice or a really talented artist or if you fall somewhere in between like I do, I feel like these pencils would make anyone extremely happy. I am thrilled with my purchase and hope anyone else is too. I can't think of any pencils that would perform better for a better price, and they are worth every penny and then some. I want to add that I am just a really happy, satisfied customer and am not getting anything in return for this review except the hope that someone will find what I have to say helpful. I hope that others can find the same joy with these as I have. I can't wait to check out other Castle art supplies!!

This item is worth the price. Great set of pencils set in a nice way, come with a little card listing all the colours in their order. As well as on the inside of tin. Great for blending sketches and adding hue saturation contrast etc. I love this and mitt was worth the money and is good as I am an artist who does 7 forms of art Plus if your an artist especially, I will recommended this to you. It is the best set of pencilss

日本の文具屋に売られている学童用の色鉛筆と色味の差はなく学童用より色数の多さがとても魅力 価格としても購入しやすく雑に広い範囲塗っていっても勿体なさがないのがいい プロ仕様というわけでは決してないが、ホビーユースとしては十分な発色をしています。 ケント紙などの細目の紙より画用紙などの中目～粗目の紙と相性がいいように感じます。 ケント紙でも問題なく使えますが、プロ用色鉛筆（プリズマカラーやファーバーカステル等）よりかは「薄いな。」「白いな。」と感じることはあるけどほぼ好みの範囲に収まってると個人的には感じます ペン軸は細くなく、持ちやすいです。軸の木はあまり品質は良くないのでカッターや鉛筆削りは選ばないといけないかもしれませんが、それは安い色鉛筆全部に共通していることなので特に割引材料ではないでしょう。 総合的にみると「かなり使える色鉛筆」というのが自分の評価です
