Easy to useSmooth textures.

The smoothness ..and the coloring effects are very good

The pencils are blendable and vibrant and easy to use even though thinner than usual Derwent artist grade pencils. A 24 pencil set is sufficient though ideally the strawberry shade should have been a true to name shade (pink toned red) instead of a brown tone red as that is missing in the set. Also close and easily achievable shades like lilac and violet, light blue and blue, strawberry and raisin could have been better varied by having shades like Mars violet, Ultramarine, a cool toned Red. Also, it's essential to have information on lightfastness as this is being marketed as professional pencils. Nevertheless, it's still a very good set.Now on the retailer and delivery. The box was completely dented and one nib was broken. I just feviquicked it to avoid going through the hassle of changing but this retailer will just not bubble wrap these delicate art materials though this is not the first time they have sent dented boxes and damaged products. It's extremely frustrating to see them waste these expensive products by not wrapping with either bubble wrap or extra cardboard, leading to damage that most consumers won't accept.

Great pencil easy to use I love it chromaflow pencil s

Pros - firm grip , beautiful selection of colours , smooth and soft , layerdown easily ,eraseble ,bright and blends wellCons - lead is not that strong,White colour is not that good for blending but you will still get Good resultsAll over it's a really beautiful product and you can purchase it for professional use or as a beginner

They are smooth and soft textures..similar to prismacolor. While the blending ability can be compared to Prismas, you have to work a little harder for that creamy layering and blending. Color selection pretty standard..I wish they release bigger sets in the future. One of the barrel tip was damaged.

Ya this colored pencils are really very good in this price .Smooth,blendeble and saturation is quite good .You can buy this they are value for money

Chromaflow ✏️✏️🌺🌺Review -Excellent pigment quality - impress meBlending and layering quality is superb ,cant expect this level. While you apply over paper (i have use @strathmoreart grey toner paper 📜),u feel like smooth butter top of the bread , like your morning breakfast .Actually chromaflow is blowout of my mind. One small problem is that point Strength is not hurdy, but it's doesn't big deal, its upon to you.My RankingLightfast 5/5Blending 5/5Layering 4.5/5Point Strength 4/5Intensity 4.5/5Overall 4.8/5.

Very soft beautiful prisma like pencils; beautifully painted barrels and initially a joy to colour with. Why only 4 stars? Wear down quickly, some have crooked cores, only 1 red (beautiful peach but exact colour easily mixed from other colours) and other colours in tin seemed to be all derived from the given red/blue/yellow. If you want 3 warm RBY and 3 cool RBY in the same tin - of 12 - that’s not going to happen with these, so of limited artful use, in my opinion, this box of 12 and it gets a touch annoying. You’re going to have to upgrade, spend the same again (very clever thinking, Derwent) and in my opinion they’re not worth it. Buy the Brutfuner squares instead.

Just received this 72 set of coloured pencils. Thanks Amazon for such speedy service. Received in less than a week from the U.K. to Canada with standard delivery!These coloured pencils from Derwent are good quality. I had the 24 set and it’s definitely worth it to have expanded it to 72. Lots of lovely greys in the set. All the colours are rich and blend extremely well. Plus although not all are lightfast, they have been tested for lightfastness so artists can use them to sell their art.The only drawback I’ve had with the 24 set was some breakage. Make sure to use a very good quality sharpener with a sharp blade and sharpen gently. All in all though, I’m satisfied with their performance. They need to come out with singles so you don’t have to buy a whole set to replace a pencil.I do want to add that I bought these when there was a terrific markdown. Just lucky I guess. At the original price, I do think these are too expensive. Best to wait a bit for the price to come down.

I'm really disappointed with these pencils as, whilst the colours are strong and vibrant, the actual pencil quality is very poor. The leads constantly break, the barrel is too narrow for most of my pencil sharpeners, and when I have managed to sharpen them, the point snaps off as soon as I draw with them, even with the lightest pressure! They may be OK for shaing in large areas / colouring in, but for detailed work / realism, they are useless. I will be returning them and sticking with my Faber Castell polychromos and Caran D'ache pencils.

They felt rather cheap and awkward to use and some looked like they had been chewed on :( like someone had been pushing their nails into them. For the price of 85 pounds I am really dissapointed. Compared to my other Derwent pencils and Faber Castell pencils. What happened ? This purchase was a big deal for me and a lot to spend :( I have requested a refund etc because in the very very short time I have tried using them , about three have snapped at the nib and have now lost a good chunk of pencil. Bad batch maybe.

Great pencils, soft coverage you can blend colours with a little water 💦 for a lighter effect.Colours are vibrant, I love them.
