Faber-CastellBlack Editition 24 X Colour Pencils

Loved the colour range and ease of sharpening. They don't break so easily.

these pencils are good but its really hard to sharpen them

Excellent for coloring.Easy and smooth.

Package came badly damaged, one pencil looks like it have been used (shorter than the rest, another pencil are not at all the colour it's supposed to be ( I have compared it to the extra set I have ordered with this set)! Otherwise its really nice pencils for colouring.

Belles couleurs

I must say, Im really impressed with these pencils.I was hesitant after watching and reading reviews and Im glad I took a chance.I followed a bubble drawing tutorial on Youtube and by far these were the best to use on black paper (although my other brands are brilliant, I found these were more opague and stood out more). That said, I found them to be just as vibrant and bright on white, grey and natural (canson graduate) paper too.They layer very well, but keep in mind, most black papers are smooth and can limit layering. If you are looking for extreme vibrancy, ensure to use a smooth paper that has a slight tooth. I also found using white artist spirits over the colour, allowing it to dry, does allow you to come in with more layers on a smooth paper.These are extremely soft and I did find I had used quite alot of the pencil after this picture.They blend extremely well with mediums like white artist spirits and baby oil.In terms of sharpening, I used a standard Weibo barrel sharpener and an electric sharpener and obtained a very very sharp point, no breakages.However, keep in mind with a soft core, pressing hard on the paper with the sharp point does at times lead to the tip snapping, but its no big deal.They also work well with Lyra polycolour.I was so impressed with this paper that I will be looking at getting the 100 set and already purchased the pastel and neon set (local store here in SA)This pencil will be great for beginner artists as well as more experienced artists.

Los colores son suaves y buenos

Vibrant Colors. Tons of artistic fun for beginners or pros. Wish I’d. Seen the larger set but will eventually get it
