Faber-CastellColouring Pencils Set of 60

Really happy with these. Lovely saturated colours that give easily to the paper. A good range too. They run smoothly and it’s easy to get soft application through to sharp strong colour. They don’t layer brilliantly but they do blend though it takes a bit of effort. They sharpen really easily. I’m surprised to find that a standard sharpener works well. They even erase fairly easily unless you’ve layered deeply. There’s a bit of smudge but not much. Really nice to hold. These have surprised me as I didn’t expected anything half as good for the price.

Even though these are more for younger people,I really like them. They're durable,have great selection of colours which are vibrant. Keep their sharpness well which is good for drawing smaller,intricate pieces. They do exactly what and who they're meant for. They aren't the type you'd burnish with though.

Such a fantastic range of colours and excellent quality

Like that they have a hard sharp point for detail. They sharpen well. No breakages so far which is a big plus! So many nice colours. I'd like names so figuring navy, black etc and some of the reds, greys would be easier. But as a budget pencil I guess can't be too fussy? Like that the whole barrell shows the colour even if it isn't exact. I have other pencils with coloured ends and the are so hard to find in my tray. Pleased to have a selection of greys. I should make the effort to learn their numbers maybe to save time? You can't put many layers sadly but with so many colours and how they an affordable set it's not such a big deal. Blending requires a soft touch. Not so easy as softer pencils. Because they are a harder pencil, beware wreaking the surface of your paper esp when you have that nice sharp point. It's made me realise I probably don't need a huge fancy set of over a hundred colours as the more you have the more confusing it gets choosing and finding colours. I was feeling limited using 12 and 24 colour sets and this budget friendly set was a chance to experience more choice. Main point is if you learn how to work with them and you can create some nice pictures. I like softer pencils more but appreciate the lack of constant shapening and breakage I was getting with my other set. And how detail is so much easier.

Bought these as I felt I was wasting my alcohol ink pens using them for colouring books. I'd seen this brand as one of the top for artists so figured a budget set from them would be a good start.Good selection of colours, they seem to blend quite well. Soft on the paper but not smudgey. They also come in a little fold out holder which you pull out the box so they're not loose. Definitely recommend

Nicely packed good value.
