  • Three little words...
Size: 120 Count (Pack of 1)
JUST GET THESE! I have many kinds of colored pencils, from budget to higher end, including Prismacolor, and all pencils get the job done, some better or more enjoyably than others. These Polychromos are hands down, without an argument or hesitation, the BEST!!! Yes the price is steeper than many others, but so worth it. They sharpen with just a few twists to a super fine point - without breakage - and are great for fine detail work. You need to use less to get the same effect as other brands, so in the long run they will last longer. Any number of art stores carry open stock of Polychromos so you can get what you need instead of doing without or needing to buy a complete set to replace just a few pencils. The colors are vibrant, saturated, and just plain gorgeous; many of them are unique and unexpected compared to other brands. The laydown is silky smooth and complete. They layer, blend, and burnish with ease so you are in total control of your color. They also erase relatively well (especially the lighter colors). This is an oil-based pencil so the color is strong even among the softer colors, that is, the tooth of the paper is well-covered quickly, even when using a light hand/touch. The only "negative" I have found is minor: the metallic print on the pencil for pencil number, color, and lightfastness is small and a little difficult to read at times and on certain pencils because of the size and reflection. I make color swatches anyway so it is not a problem for me, just wanted to give a heads-up regarding this. There are many pencil brands available, especially from China. Many are quite good and reasonably priced, I even have favorites among them. However, these Polychromos (made in Germany by one of the oldest and continuously family-owned companies) are a definite step above. If you are new to pencil art or coloring, you will fall in love and believe yourself to be a budding artist, if you do occasional coloring or art, you will be spoiled, always reaching for these over other brands. And if you are a serious artist, or trying to be, you will know that you have finally found a color pencil which will do your bidding and inspire you to do great art! ... show more

  • Best colored pencils
Size: 12 Count (Pack of 1)
These are the BEST colored pencils I have ever used. They apply smoothly and blend well. The pencil is durable and thick. Although these colored pencils are a little on the pricy side, I recommend these pencils for anyone

  • Excellent quality Professional oil based pencils.
Size: 12 Count (Pack of 1)
As a life long artist and fan of coloring I use colored pencils quite a bit as my medium of choice. I am also am admitted pencil hoarder and have tried several dozens of different brands trying to find the perfect pencil, and while I have come close to finding it on a few occasions I often felt I was missing out on the professional pencils I used during my art school years which were Faber Castells. I purchased this smaller tin set before splurging for the 120 set to be sure that these would be what I long remembered, in fact they are. These pencils, like so many artists and colorists describe, are really soft and buttery to use. The cores are durable and retain a nice point when compared to the softer counter part brands which are wax based. These sharpen without any issues, the tips do not break when using a sharp, clean blade, quality pencil sharpener. Because these are oil based cores and are hard so to speak they produce more color with less lead than wax based cores, in other words my comparable name brand wax brands and not so name brands are constantly needing sharpened which in turn ends up wasting lead, these pencils do not. These pencils do lay down well and blend quite well, colors are rich and vibrant, and even with a small set of 12, you can obtain many different hues and or colors by layering. There is no doubt that this is "the" best professional set of pencils to own. Pricey? Yes, but worth every single penny. I am so happy with these pencils that I purchased the 120 set and can't wait for it to arrive. It is worth noting that working with quality oil based pencil is a different experience than wax based and so if you are in doubt I do suggest you purchase the 12 count tin set for yourself and see if you enjoy them as much as I and thousands of others do. ... show more

  • Faber-Castell Color Oil Base Pencils Are Superior
Size: 120 Count (Pack of 1)
Great color drawing pencils. I normally use wax based color pencils. The oil base pencils, for me, are easier to blend and manage than the wax based. They are also stronger and do not break when sharpening. I would definitely buy again. In my view, Faber-Castell product are superior to most brands.

  • These are my new favorites!
Size: 120 Count (Pack of 1)
I wasn’t sure about theses because of the price. Then I started googling and reading what artists had to say (I’m no artist). One person said yes they were more expensive then Prism but when you figure how much longer these pencils last then Prism colors it was worth the extra $. So I ordered the full set. I have been a Prismcolor girl for years but these are really nice and I actually like them better! Pros: 1. More economical in the long run because they don’t break as easy. They are centered and surrounded by the wood casing. 2. They went on very smooth to me. 3. The colors are vibrant. I’m going to try and send a picture of the swatch I did! I used card stock and the colors are very bright and stand out. 4. When I sharpened them it took very little effort to get a point. Very little shavings to get them sharp. Cons: I haven’t had them long enough to write any cons. I took them out of the tin they came in and put them in a pencil holder. If anything it is too bad they are expensive but if you want qualIty. ... show more

  • Fantastic Colored Pencils
Size: 120 Count (Pack of 1)
I was a little leary about spending the money to get the Faber Castell Polychromos when I already use Prismacolor Premieres, but they were well worth every penny. They don’t break easily, they go on paper like butter, and they’re very easy to blend. And the colors are highly saturated. Both brands are likewise blendable, together, though one is wax based, and the other are oil based. For me, Polychromos are better for detail, while Prismacolors are better for laying down color in larger areas. I’m absolutely thrilled with the Faber Castell Polychromos, and am very happy that I spent the money to get them. ... show more
