Faber-Castell 110038, Kleurpotloden, Polychromos, 36 Stuks

Very nice color pencil, blends well and add many layers

First of all let me start out by saying that although I am not a professional artist, I have several family members who are and I know the difference between top quality, artist quality art supplies and the, lack for a better word, cheap art supplies. I have fallen into the adult coloring world that is so popular now, but I have colored all my life. The only difference is where I used to buy kids coloring books and a huge box of Crayola Crayons, now I buy adult coloring books and colored pencils. Like a lot of other people, I started with Crayola colored pencils. Crayola makes the best "crayons" I thought well, they must make decent colored pencils. Well ignorance is bliss, so they say. I had always heard of the Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils and how amazing they were. So, after doing some research I broke down and bought the 48 pc set. Wow! I couldn't believe how buttery smooth they were! I thought nothing could get better than these babies! I was already familiar with several of the brand names, Prismacolor, Faber Castell, Derwent, but I never realized just how many brands of colored pencils were out there, all claiming to be soft, blendable, smooth color lay down, etc. So I began my research into all the different brands, read reviews on all the different brands, talked to my dad (the artist in the family) about all the different brands and learned a lot. I already had the Prismas, so I now I was dying to try the FC Polychromos. So I went to our local art supply stores which are either Michael's and Hobby Lobby. I didn't want to splurge on a huge set quite yet, so I found a 6pc set of the Polychromos, I didn't want to buy only one or two of the colors, so, after looking at the open stick, realized that I would save a couple of bucks if I bought the 6pc. When I got them home, and started to color with them, I fell instantly and utterly in love with them. Now I knew what all the ruckus about, these are absolutely and utterly, the best colored pencil ever! No breakage, no barrel cracks, even after sharpening them. So, I immediately ordered the 36 pc Studio Set in a box. I like the box instead of the tin, it seems sturdier somehow. I haven't picked up my Prismas in over a week, except to move the tin! I am now saving up for the 120 pc set, maybe my husband will get it for me for Christmas?! I will still use and love my Prismas along with my other less expensive but good quality brands. I love the Staedtler Triangular pencils (72 pc) and my Michael's brand (Artist Loft), but I will reach for my Poly's the most. You ask yourself, "can I justify paying that much for colored pencils"? YES! Start saving and when you can, SPLURGE! They are worth every penny, and what others are saying is 100% true. These are the best pencils ever! 5+ stars!!!UPDATE: I have since purchased the 120 pc set of Polychromos. I have found that I reach for these more than any other pencil. No breakage, no shrinkage from usage and the color lay down is amazing!

I have used Faber-Castell pencils for years. Mostly watercolor. I also have a couple of other sets from Faber-Castell. I know I can rely on the color and pigment of each pencil. I'm working on a new project which requires the polychromos set and I'm not at all disappointed. Plus, they arrived early! Very pleased.

Once my wife tried these pencils it cost me money. WHY? Because I had to purchase the 120 set as she was so impressed with them.

缶入りの36色セットが値上がりしている中、据え置き価格でコンパクトに収納できるこちらのスタジオボックスセットを購入しました。このセットには132番ベージュレッド(旧名ライトフレッシュ)と137番ブルーバイオレットが入っているかわりに、125番ミドルパープルピンクと249番モーブが入って無いので、この２色が欲しい場合は単品で追加購入することになりますが、和名の『うすだいだい』132番が入っているだけでもお得感があるので、こちらのセットを買って良かったです。

Meine Freundin hat sich sehr über diese Stifte zum Geburtstag gefreut.Wie von Polychromos auch nicht anders zu erwarten, hält man mit diesen Buntstiften ein hochwertiges Produkt in Händen, welches dieses Mal in einer optisch hübschen und qualitativ hochwertigen Atelierbox verstaut ist.Die Stifte an sich müssen natürlich mit Vorsicht behandelt werden - zu rabiates Benutzen oder häufiges Runterwerfen enden meist in gebrochenen Mienen, die sich nicht gut anspitzen lassen.Die Stifte an sich sind sehr deckend und eignen sich hervorragend, um auf verschiedensten Arten von Papier Kunstwerke entstehen zu lassen. Hat man die Techniken drauf und weiß, wie man damit umgeht, umso besser. Aber auch als Teil von Mixed Media Werken (Z.B. mit Copics, Wasserfarben, etc.) runden sie die Bilder ab. Sie lassen sich 1A mischen und kombinieren und sogar für Ausmalbilder verwenden (wofür sie durch den Preis allerdings zu Schade sind).
