castle art colored pencils color chart
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2017 Size: 72 Count (Pack of 1) Verified Purchase I love drawing and coloring and am an admitted art supply hoarder, if I see a new art product come out and the price is reasonable I purchase it. After seeing these I decided I would give them a try. The color on the pencil is not nearly close to the color of the actual lead, some are, but most are either darker or lighter, I suggest you do make a swatch sheet. Because these have no number or color indicated on them I did number them myself after sorting and marked them with a permanent marker. The leads are very soft and creamy as others indicated, they do lay down color quite well and are vibrant. The only colors which are not are a few of the yellows. There's also a very nice array of colors in each spectrum. This set is very similar set also found on Amazon in terms of lay down, color and storage but it does have the exact same hues or colors the Colore' set does not so they compliment each other really well. These blend really well together and with other pencils that are decent wax based pencils on both smooth paper and paper that has a bit of tooth to it. You will find on paper with tooth there will be white gaps, this is normal in general and if you layer additional colors on top or blend with an alcohol blender or odorless mineral spirits you easily fill in the gaps. The biggest issue, other than lack of color number or name, with these pencils is that they do have significant blooming, the colors look shiny, after you add a few layers or blend them with an alcohol blender, this is par on course for many soft wax based pencils. These pencils are great for general coloring and budding pencil artists. It doesn't appear they were tested for lightfastness so it is difficult to determine how they will hold up over time, it takes about 6 months for an actual test. For the price these are a really nice starter set for budding artists or for individuals who enjoy coloring. 5.0 out of 5 stars Very creamy and soft I love drawing and coloring and am an admitted art supply hoarder, if I see a new art product come out and the price is reasonable I purchase it.

Images in this review Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2017 Size: 72 Count (Pack of 1) Verified Purchase In my personal opinion these are the best pencils I have ever purchased, and believe me I have purchased many. They go on so smoothly almost like butter and the colors are just so vivid. I am currently working on a picture with the pencils and will post it when done. I believe these are better than the set I paid 100.00 for which is the Prisma Priemer 150 count. I sure wish they had a larger set of these, because I would definetly buy them. Will continue only purchasing these pencils from now on. Next, I need to find out if they make markers. Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2017 Size: 72 Count (Pack of 1) Verified Purchase These pencils are amazing! I can't believe how incredibly inexpensive they are. I ordered another set for twice the price and they dont compare to these. The tin was bent and smashed a little but luckily the pencils were in perfect condition in the plastic trays. They were also fully wrapped in a plastic seal so at least I know they were brand new. The appearance of the packaging other than the dents was great. I love there logo and all the black. The pencils themselves are gorgeous, now a round barrel not the hexagon crap, which is usually a deal breaker for me. There aren't any names or numbers so you have to go by the striping on the bottom of the pencils which I like, I don't know why everyone hates that. I don't want to pick up every pencil to read the side of it to find my color. No thanks. They are super light, soft finish and I seem to have no issues with sharpening so far. Good quality wood I think. The lead is also of good quality. I believe these are wax based colored pencils. Basing that conclusion only on my experience with the pencils and the many sets I already own. I have put them in the same case with my Prisma premiers, if that gives you any kind of hint ;) and I'll tell why! They are so easy to blend with, on par with Prismas. They blend with each other and they blend just as well, possibly better with others. Idk if that is possible, makes sense, or I'm crazy ha. The colors are so bold. They are all on the darker side tho. That's part of why I gave only 4 stars. I do alot of landscape and realtic drawing, portraits, etc. Unfortunately these are not pale enough for portraits unless you use a lot of white which I'm trying to minimize in my drawings, cuz I've had to use a lot trying so many different sets of colored pencils... No one seems to be able to compete with Prismas or polys color pallet. But aside from that downfall, these are absolutely amazing for everything else! Lots lots of greens and blues. Too many yellows and oranges I'd say, and much too close in shade. Barely any pinks but tons of pretty purple. They all blend so freaking awesome! I can't get over it. Ha ok move on, as for solvents I've found coconut oil and alcohol has worked the best for me, with my paper types and techniques. Don't even hesitate people!!! There 10 bucks!! I'm going to purchase a second set before the price jumps up!! Do it!!! 4.0 out of 5 stars These pencils are amazing! I can't believe how incredibly inexpensive they are These pencils are amazing!

Images in this review 5.0 out of 5 stars Sehr fairer Anbieter Reviewed in Germany on September 27, 2018 Size: 72 Count (Pack of 1) Verified Purchase Ich habe mir die Box gekauft wegen der Farbenvielfalt. Die Farben sind super kräftig unsd malen sehr gleichmässig. Die farbnuoncen sind bei jeder Farbe etwas anders, war echt super. Leider brachen die Stifte schon beim ersten Spitzen ab und ich hatte zum Schluss nur Stummel. Ich habe die Farben zurrückgeschickt und mein Geld erstattet bekommen. Nach kurzer Zeit bekam ich eine Mail der Firma, sie entschuldigen sich für die schlechte Qualität und ich erhalte kostenlos eine neue Farbbox. Die ist heute gekommen, ich werde die Stifte nochmals ausprobieren und mich wieder melden. Wie gesagt die Farben und das Malverhalten sind echt top. So ein faires Verhalten muss man auch mal loben, das kommt heute viel zu selten vor. 5.0 out of 5 stars Great pencils, a pain to sharpen Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 22, 2018 Size: 72 Count (Pack of 1) Verified Purchase Fantastic pencils, blends colours perfectly, the tin is nice and compact, with three layers of pencils, I had no issue removing the layers as other people had mentioned.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 1, 2018 Size: 72 Count (Pack of 1) Verified Purchase I've been colouring for a few years now but always with felt tips. An artist friend suggested switching to pencil crayons because you can shade with them and can't really do that with pens. ~Packaging~ This tin attracted me to begin with because the outer design looked high end without being super expensive. Once you receive the product you can see how sturdy the tin actually is. Inside there are three grooved trays to hold the pencils so they don't get damaged in transit and stay organised once you have them. There is a groove at the top of each tray so you can lift it to acces the tray underneath. ~Onto the pencil crayons themselves!~ The pencil crayons have a lovely design. Each one comes pre sharpened, so if you forget to buy a pencil sharpener at the same time (like I did!) you can still use them straight away! The first word that comes to mind with these pencils is luxurious. Each has a matte black shaft with the company logo embossed in silver, & a 3cm section at the end to indicate the colour of each pencil. This set would be a great present for anyone into art using pencil crayons, be they young or old. 5.0 out of 5 stars Great of colours, beautiful design!

The pencils are stored in a nice metal tin and have 3 layers total of pencils. The sorting of these are a bit strange, not like other pencils which go by hue, so I did resort them according to hue. The barrels are round and have a nice black coating and on the end of each pencil is a color indicator, the ends of the pencils are rounded so you are unable to tell if the leads are straight or not. The cores are fairly thick but not as think as the more popular Prisma's are. Leads are pre-sharpened and these sharpen easily with a quality sharpener.

* comfortable, easy to hold, soft matte, black wood casing (and they look great too!)
* core moves smoothly on the paper, releasing a nice amount of color but not laying down too much product (some other pencils feel like crayons)
* tips stay sharp, and can easily get into tiny details
* never any issues with breakage during sharpening or use
* no crumbling or debris
* nice distribution of colors: 11 yellows, 8 oranges, 5 reds, 5 pinks, 9 purples, 10 blues, 15 greens, 3 browns, 4 grays, 1 black, 1 white
* extremely responsive company 👍🏻
I choose to use these pencils over every other brand I have tried, even the high-end ones, because they have all the features I want. I like this company, how they are available and responsive to their customers and use our feedback to improve their product. If you are reading this then you are likely in the market for colored pencils - just go ahead and hit "Add to Cart" and for less than $25 you can see for yourself how great these are : - )

The only downside is sharpening the pencils, the lead breaks so easily even before there's a point on the pencil, I had to use several different sharpeners until I found one that did the least damage. I also noticed the colour on the top of the pencil is a slightly different shade to what's produced, so do a colour sample before hand.
Enjoy.

Leider sind 4 der Stifte beim Spitzen immer wieder gebrochen, aber die Reklamation wurde vom Hersteller umgehend bearbeitet. Absoluter Top-Kundenservice!
Fazit: Für mich sind sie eine gute Ergänzung zu Prismacolor und Polychromos. Mir macht es Spaß mit diesen Stiften zu malen.
