Koh-I-Noor6 Gioconda 5.6 mm Special Colored Leads. 4376 Magic

I like these leads quite a bit. I don't mind that they are all the same variety of colors rather than having a range because of the fact that they are replacement leads, rather than being a set of more typical pencils, chalks or crayons.The hardness is about right, I find them responsive when sketching, they don't crumble or scratch the paper too much. The colors are a bit muted but that works well for what I want them for. Product quality is about the same as the other Giaconda leads, which is to say, very good, and I like the storage case. They arrived intact with no issues from shipping.I noticed one reviewer docked them points for being small, but these are not crayons or pencils to be used alone, they are meant to be used with a 5.6 mm lead holder. I have several of those and love being able to find different types of refills for them since I freely swap things around between lead holders since it is so easy to change things out. Overall I have no issues with this product. It's a bit unusual, yes, but does its job quite well.

Mine came broken in shipment which is unfortunate although they are still usable. These pencil leads are really awesome for unique art. I use mine with a koh i noor versatil silver.

Whatever your skill level, these leads are fun. They are a nice treat to play with. For me, they're best for line drawing (makes them look fancy 😉). These Koh-I-Noor "Magic" leads also have a matching lead holder (sold separately). And, if you like it, and want more colors, there are a set of 5 wood barrel pencils by Koh-I-Noor, "Magic", that include this, & 4 other colors that are nice as well. But I WISH all 5 colors were offered as leads. This color is my favorite though. If you've never used a 5.6mm lead holder, it is a bit bulky and a bit heavy. The box the leads come in are nice and solid, protecting them. I do wish there were more leads, but there are never enough leads, no matter what. I have lead & ink greed, & I've made peace with it.

Great product, but one star off for inaccurate product information. If you have the Magic Coloured Leads, you won't need the Giaconda. Or vice versa.

These are 5.6 size lead refills for a clutch pencil. The pencil leads have four colors twisted together so you get random colors on the page as you use them. I decided to get them after reading Sketching People: An Urban Sketcher's Manual to Drawing Figures and Faces by Lynne Chapman. I am a professional artist and when I start to feel a little stale and uninspired, playing around with something out-of-the-ordinary for me can revive my creativity. These pencil leads are great fun and of excellent quality. They are smooth on the page, lay down their random colors easily, and are easy to sketch with. (Koh I Noor also sells a package of "magic" pencils with different multi-colored leads encased in wood, like traditional pencils, if you want to try this type of drawing out and don't have/like a clutch pencil holder.)

I added this choice in with a nice collection of mechanical pencils and lead. Fun but would have like bolder and brighter colors.

High quality, won't break easily. Nice pigments.

While these are well presented and nicely packaged, they must be meant for a 4 yr old’s hand they’re that small and thin. There seem to be just 2-3 color changes within each lead and they take a lot of pressure to get strong color. The transitions at times are scratchy sounding and you have to work at it till it smooths out. Very tempted to return but probably not worth the effort. Very disappointed.

Chegou em perfeitas condições, muito bem embalado e sem nenhuma avaria. Todos os grafites estão ótimos. Adoro esse produto, fiquei feliz de encontrar o refil colorido por um bom preço 💛

Muy bonitas y originales , buena calidad , resistentes las he comprado en otras ocasiones y repito .

noch viel mehr Freude. Alle Minen kamen gut verpackt in der Umverpackung, eine Kunststoffbox, an. Die Lieferung erfolgte binnen der angegeben Zeit.Skizzieren macht mir mir diesen Minen viel mehr Spaß als mit dem Bleistift. Ich würde sie zu diesem Preis wieder kaufen.

Les mines magic sont toujours très amusantes à utiliser. Je dois avoir tous les crayons de la gamme :-DDommage qu'elles n'existent que dans leur configuration classique/"original" rouges jaunes bleu pour les porte-mines. Les autres combinaisons de couleurs (surtout les tropical, neon, America et fire) me plairaient beaucoup dans ce format

Ottimo
