Woomer Premium 72 Colored Pencil, Artists 3.8mm Creamy Soft Core with Lightfast Vibrant Color, Ideal Sketching Coloring Pencils for Kids Adults Beginners with Case Tin Box

Very good for the price point (when on sale or with a discount offered).Pigment excellent, very soft leads, similar to Prisma, not quite as crumbly though.No issues with sharpening them.Test was done on a standard coloring book page, since that is where most folks are using colored pencils these days. Considering the terrible quality of coloring book paper in most books out there, this test one included, the pencils performed amazingly well. Everything was done with only the colored pencils, except for the white spots on the feathers, which are white gel pen. I did test the use of three blending pencils (prisma, lyra and polycolor) as well as colorless blender alcohol marker - all worked very well with these pencils.On quality artist paper, these pencils are exquisite. I just swatch tested them, but performance was so good, I will be using these for sketching and artwork that is not going to be left out in the light. I doubt they are very lightfast, but that doesn't matter if you are doing art in sketch books or placing your finished pieces into a storage portfolio.Bottom line- the full cost without discount or sale is a little steep, but if you can snatch them up on sale, go for it. They are very nice and I ordered several sets at different times as sales came up since I do like them that much.

These feel great to use, extremely close to Prismacolor pencils, very creamy, blends easily, vibrant colors. Beautiful color selection, I had a smile on my face while swatching. I almost took a star off because of the gold lettering, I had to use a headlamp magnifier to read the color names. I wish manufacturers would stop this practice, yes the gold looks pretty, but we like to be able to read the information on the pencil most of all. But, the quality of the pencils made me still give 5 stars. There is a rating system for lightfastness, but they don't state what system is used, so if that's important to you, be aware. They are rated up to 5 stars, and none of the colors are below a 3, even the pinks. Hmmmm. KThey sharpen easily in an electric sharpener, no splintering or point breakage. These pencils are a joy to use. The tin case is sturdy enough, the inner trays are flimsy. I find it easier to use when my pencils are in a case, more convenient. I hope they come out with bigger sets in a pencil case, not a tin, I would buy them immediately. I highly recommend trying these. Worth every penny!Been using these pencils for a couple of weeks now, love them more every day, hardly use my Prismas unless I need a certain color. I see that they went down a little in the price, plus a coupon, so I'm ordering another set today to make sure have enough. I wish they would come out with a bigger set, or have the option of no tin, I always use a pencil case. They must have figured out the Prisma formula, I can't get over how these seem identical. So creamy and easy to blend! Again, I highly recommend!

Great quality, yet on the budget. Pencils really feel very close to Prismacolor: vibrant colors, soft, easily blending, thicker pencil core. No problems with sharpening and breakage. The pencils keep the sharp point relatively long, Hopefully the manufacturer will expand the set size (perhaps a few skin tones would be great). There is not enough info regarding lightfastness. The inner plastic trays are flimsy and need improvement.

I was SO pleasantly surprised with these. Such good value for money. They feel nice, they work nice, they don't feel or look cheap. At all. They feel like a high-quality pencil in your hand. They work really well. I like them waaay better than the arrtx (I didn't like them). I think they're even better than Shpirrer Farben pencils.( Better than Arteza and Castle Arts, hands down.) I ENJOYED swatching these. And I paid 23 dollars for them!Most importantly, to me, they did a FABULOUS job of color selecting for a 72 set!! One of the best, if not THE best, I've seen. I love that there are NO metallics, and that they instead give us actual colors to use, i love that there aren't 15 yellows (or grays) in a 72 set. They managed to achieve such quality(even in the details) at such a more-than-reasonable price. I've had no breakages, and they keep their point much better than prismacolors. I love them. And I would happily buy these 72 AGAIN if they were to come out with a 120 count set. Also, they have color names and numbers. And the colors are super-vibrant/saturated! So glad I bought them.

This is a very good budget pencil. When I purchased my set less than a year ago, I paid $24.99. A little more than the other budget pencils on the market. I received the pencils and was impressed with the quality. They were smooth, creamy, well pigmented and AFFORDABLE. Today, this same set is priced at $38.99. This is a big increase for a budget pencil and may place it out of reach for some potential budget buyers. My hope is Woomer will evaluate their pricing of these pencils and identify with the clientele who purchase them and place the pencils back into a price range for budget shoppers. It's awesome to find a budget pencil that is a good and affordable.

Have been using awhile now and I love them.Well made, beautiful colors, creamy, blendable.. as good as Prisma..even better not one has breaking issues. Priced similar to Arteza BUT much much better! You won't be sorry.This is update to my review.using them for nearly a year now and am even more in love with them. The layout is smooth and creamy. The pencil is beautiful to look at and feels good in the hand. They sharpen perfect, never a problem. NO Breakage!!!The colors are bright and easy to blend well. This set is perfection!! Color choices are very balanced for a 72 set.I have had some of the best artist grade pencils, Polycromos, derwent, carandache, prisma, and Woomer pencilsstack up to these! AND EVEN OUT PERFORM. For the price you should pick up a set, try them you won't regretthis purchase even if you already have too many pencils!!!
