Nice pencils. Ideal color selection for urban sketching - especially darker brown tones from the collection are nice.

Die Farbabgabe ist auch auf Karton sehr gut, die Farben können gut miteinander strukturiert werden - es ergibt sich ein stimmiges, rustikales Finish. Als "cremig" würde ich die Farben nicht beschreiben, dafür gibt es andere Stifte. Ich bin mit den Stiften sehr zufrieden und würde sie wieder bestellen.

The pencils are beautiful! Love the sturdy storage case. Vibrant, well saturated color goes on smooth. For a friend who doodles and draws in her spare time, this made a great gift along with a pad of her favorite paper.

Ürün mükemmel ve hasarsız geldi ama mng kargoya teslim edilmişti. Profesyonel bir kargo gönderimi değildi.

Decent quality pencils for the price point. I usually use Prismacolor because I love soft pencils, but I liked that this color palette was specific to urban sketching-lots of lovely muted colors. My only gripe is that two colors were swapped/mislabeled. The pencil labeled Ultramarine Violet (040) was actually Cornflower Blue (092) and vice versa. Fortunately the colors are accurate on the non-sharpened end of the pencil, so visually they are correct. I guess I have one more gripe-the pencils in the tin weren’t displayed to align with the swatches in the top of the tin. Not a big deal to rearrange them in order, but the packaging/presentation is a bit sloppy. But, again, good quality pencils for the price point.

The pencils are great - don't buy unless you want mostly duplicates. I was naive enough to think I was getting 2 brand new palettes. Wrong! Very few (3 or4) new colors in each tin. Nothing to see here - don't waste your money!

The hook to buy this product was the box of course and the inspiring palette. I thought it would be just enough to sample colors for my projects. The pencils are actually of very nice quality and I am using them very often in my sketchbooks. I love them now. Excellent idea of packaging, very good quality, I recommend those pencils to really Everyone.

Packaging is superb, color-coordinated tin that matches pencils inside. Pencils each come with cap, too. The only thing that could be better is if they had included a small pencil sharpener with it. Ah, well. I solved this by purchasing a 12-pack of inexpensive colorful plastic sharpeners so I can include one with every tin of pencils. There are a variety of color-coordinated tins depending on what you want to do (landscape, portrait, seaside, etc.) but there are enough colors in each tin to stand alone as well. Just the nicest things - and the more you buy the less each one costs. Don't know how long that promotion will go on. Coloring is big again so these are great for anyone. My only problem is that I want to keep them. I'm going to have to work on acquiring some for myself. jh

This is a great little set to give as a gift or to have as a start point for coloring those under the sea themed coloring pages. The tin is beautiful and it closes very tight (I had no need to store the pencils in a pencil case).The pencils are very pigmented, easy to blend (you can get different colors by blending the pencils), and their tip don't wear down so quickly as other brands. They are easy to color with.The only problem I had was when sharpening the pencils. The wood seems a bit soft when compared to other pencils I have, and not all my sharpeners worked well with them. The one that worked best was the rectangular Kum sharpener (the normal one, not the long point).I colored the Lily Pond page from Johanna Basford (you can get it for free on her website) using only this set. I'm very pleased with the result and I recommend this set to everyone who loves coloring.
