Black Widow Coloring Pencils for Adults – 24 Wax Soft Core Colored Pencils for Adult Coloring Books – Vibrant Color Pencil Set (Cobra Set)

EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM CompanyI want to give an honest review so others can make the best decisions on pencil choices..First I’m just a regular person who bought the full set including skin tones & new monarch set..A MUST OWN SET 🥰🥰Honest -most people will find these workable and enjoyable no matter your level of artistic skill.A must own !!!!Onto pencils....Whoever said these are soft like PRISMA premier are mistaken. ( these are soft but different in a good way)Not taking away from anyones comparison but they just are not as creamy. But they are buttery, smooth &!highly blendable they are a nice softness.So, don’t get me wrong these are GREAT but these are not in that super soft league of pencils.These fall in between Arteza, black widows and PRISMA level of softness and layering ability.I believe these are that perfect middle we strive for.BRIGHT & UNIQUE COLORS ARE AWESOME !!!These pencils do have a level of fantastic colors with rich pigment and they are a PERFECT SET OR addition to your PRISMA set or Arteza set or other wax based set.SOFTNESS/BLENDING/CORE STRENGTHThe cores are a bit harder not in how they lay down but in how they handle, sturdy, will sharpen to a nice point and you can apply more pressure and still have the buttery lay down without breaking the lead or a huge wax bloom.I do notice some minor dusting but this is expected, it’s still a pencil after all :)Blending these was easy and easily blended with my PRISMA premier set and Arteza set they play very well with each other adding POP and depth to myPictures...COST -THE BIGGEST POINT NEXT TO APPLICATIONFor around 120.00 you can get all of the tins including the skin tones - so these rank right up up there with PREMIUM PRICE but well worth it !!They do break these out in sets for affordability. So, you can buy sets as you go instead of all at once, which is a nice aspect.And each set is unique no repeat colors..🥰The tins are nice but most of us don’t use these for long term we put them in easier access containers or cases.So if I were to suggest anything it would be ship these in a pencil case that holds all 144 colors and then sell replacement color family kits in tins. A thought .Maybe add a breakdown of colors for sale such as reds/browns, blues/grays etc.... replacement tins of color families would be great..All in all I will keep these and see how they perform long term, I’m happy with the performance and softness These are right in that happy middle..

Please advise as to whether this is helpful by selecting the button below or feel free to contact me via email on my profile for any questions.Now, the good stuff... I bought my daughter this and the Prisma set, and honestly expected to have to return one or the other — these, in particular. Thankfully, the Black Widow brand has easily withstood each and every challenge we’ve thrown at them.⚠️Before going into Pros/Cons, please note we did NOT adhere to proper preparation techniques previously employed. No heat was applied, primarily because I wanted to see how they would perform without modification.Pros ✅- Light-weight yet sturdy. The toddler got ahold of a coveted red and was not able to break it, as he does with every one of his crayola pencils.- Sharpening (with Prisma brand sharpener) worked well, however, my old Blick brand sharpener ended up creating a finer point.- Speaking of points — with correct “posturing” of the pencils, she was able to create incredibly intricate pieces without the usual 5-minute breakage.- Overall texture and application is smooth but not silky.- Blendability was fabulous, especially if using a multiple fine layer technique with blending in between.- Case and presentation are beautiful. Ours was dented but it didn’t affect any of the pencils so I let it slide.- Finally, the most important...COLOR! The variety offered for this small sized set is fantastic. The bolds ARE bold, and the subdued are exactly what they should be. You may have to layer a bit but you’ll definitely get the pop you’re looking for!- Adherence to the wood has been exceptional. We’ve seen no gaps, weak spots, or warping either. 😁Cons ❌- Dented case didn’t affect us, but it may be an issue for you, so be diligent upon inspection. Something as delicate as art pencils should never leave the manufacturer damaged. (It was packed extremely well so I have to assume damage occurred prior to shipping)- These are, by no means, a solution for spending $300 on top of the line. That being said, it’s not necessarily a negative. Just don’t expect the set to last you more than 4-5 months if you’re an active sketcher or produce large, color-heavy pieces.- I couldn’t decide if the closed ends were a good or bad thing, but since I had to think about it I figured I’d throw it down here for those of you who want to see the inner bonding.Overall, these are a wonderful value for the quality and quantity. The cool snake case is also a plus for my snake-obsessed kid! Whether you’re a pro looking to supplement or a part timer having fun, i believe you will be happy with your purchase.

Os lápis são bem macios, gostoso de colorir. Trazem no corpo do lápis informações com a marca, nome da coe e , numero da cor. Facilita a confecção de tabelas e, com isso ajuda a organizar o trabalho de colorir. A embalagem é de lata, bonita e muito bem feita, acolchoando por dentro os lápis. Só achei que poderia ter uma paleta melhor. O recurso é comprar a coleção, o que penso ir fazendo. Recomendo.

Very very nice pencils, been wanting them for a long time

Beautiful pencils, been wanting them for a long time

Mit den Stiften kann man sehr gut malen, tolle Farben

Ces crayons moyenne gamme font partie des meilleurs crayons dont je dispose. Ils sont bien gras, bien pigmentés, et vraiment très agréables à utiliser. Les mines sont robustes, la boîte est solide est protège bien les crayons.
