Faber Castell Polychromos Artists Color Pencils 120 Color In A Flat Metal Tin, ASSORTED, F110011

As someone who went from the Faber-castell classic pencils to these- it's truly amazing. I 100% would recommend these to anyone and everyone

And I liked it a lot

Thanks Amazon, I bought two sets during 11.11 sale for only around 19 AED and happy about my purchase! I was a bit skeptical first but when order was arrived, I found out they are totally authentic 😌😇

One of the best artist grade pencils.

Great Product, absolutely love using these pencils, especially because they aren't as soft as my caran d'ache set and so are great for the details bits and so work really well in unison with my other colour pencil sets!

ممتاز

I like this product. It adds an intensity and depth of colour to my floral and vegetal drawings. These are the first set of polychromos I have ever acquired and would be happy to give other brands of polychromos a go too.

It is very bad quality and totaly fake 👎

Okay, here begins the fangirling over my took-me-three-years-to-get-them Polychromos coloring pencils. I LOVE THEM!!! I did buy them a special fabric case, since I did not intend to keep them in the tin (which is actually a nice tin, by the way). I love colored pencils, and have a lot of different sets. Cheapies, mid-ranges, and my beloved Polychromos. I do tend to save these pencils for special artwork I plan to display. Color-fastness and all that good stuff. Once you sharpen these, you quickly learn they hold their points for a good bit of time. I use a lightish touch with them, but it goes beyond that I'm not pressing hard; they are made to last, and they do. They blend well, layer well, have rich pigmentation, and have a good-sized lead so they aren't going to get you through one picture and need replacing. The colors are gorgeous, with a full range. They are not super-hard, but you can't call them soft, either. They are what you would expect an oil pencil to be. But these are a high quality oil pencil, so I applaud their functionality as versatile colored pencils. As stated, they are vibrant, layer and blend, and feel really good in the hand. They do cost a bit, and it took awhile for me to fit them into the budget. I'm poor, so some will just order these and not have to do without some other supply they need more. These are worth the price, and a plus is that they are available open stock. I find that very attractive. If you are not sure you will like a harder pencil like a Polychromos, try buying one of the small sets, or a few pencils open stock, and see if you like them. If you do, start saving and looking for sales. You won't regret it. Quality is worth paying for.

Lápices de colores maravillosos, con base oleosa, resistentes a la luz y al agua, los uso para dibujar realismo e hiperrealismo, sin duda una muy buena opción, una gama de colores impresionante, muy buen pigmento, permite superpone muchas capas.

I love these oil-based professional colored pencils. They glide on easily, have vibrant colors, and are easy to blend. The leads are long lasting. The applied color has good light-fastness. The set of sixty pencils gives you a good selection of colors, and with its superior blending capability, the color palette you can create is endless. Another bonus I find with the Faber Castel pencil line is that the colors are consistent across products. This means that the color names and pigments for the Polychromos oil pencils are the same as those for their Albrecht Durer watercolor pencils. The set, packaged in a metal tin, arrived in perfect shape. For those who are considering purchasing the wax-based Prismacolor Premier colored pencils, which cost less than the Polychromos, I'll provide a little comparison here, since I own both. There have been many complaints about product control with the Mexico-manufactured Prismacolors. Lead breakage is a problem, especially if you drop a pencil. This is because the lead is not glued to the wood. The barrels may be chipped or warped. The lead cores are sometimes off-center too. But in the German-manufactured Polychromos, quality control is excellent, the lead is attached firmly to the wood, and I have experienced no lead breakage or other anomalies. The Prismacolor pencils have softer leads than the Polychromos and wear down far faster. That being said, I enjoy using both brands of pencil. They both have bright colors, and they even blend together well. If I have to give any negative comment, it's that the Polychromos pencils (and the Prismacolors as well) have round barrels, so they roll around on a table easily. A hexagonal shape would have been better not only to control the roll but also to hold them more firmly. But that's such a minor complaint that it doesn't detract from my five-star rating.

São lapis de ótima qualidade bem pigmentados, o papel suporta várias camadas as minas são bem resistentes permitindo maior precisão de traços. Gostei bastante e recomendo a todos que trabalham com ilustração ou assim como eu desenham por gostarem.

As a relative novice to coloured pencils, these were a considered and relatively expensive purchase - there are a lot of options out there, at varying price points, and a lot of opinions too. Having used relatively cheap pencils before, I must say these pencils are a delight to use. Not only do they look good and feel good in the hand, they perform better than I could have ever hoped for. The colour range in this set 60 is about perfect - I did subsequently buy the ivory, sky blue and cinnamon (or light flesh) pencils to augment the range a little, but I don't think I'll need any more. The way the colours lay down on the paper is fantastic - you can go from delicate application to intense colour very easily without ever feeling that you're going to rip through the paper. And the vibrancy and intensity of the colours are absolutely superb. Blending and layering with these pencils is so easy. The colours just melt into each other. Burnishing is simple too - they react well to application of a white or burnishing pencil and solvent. I really can't fault these pencils. If, like me, you've spent an inordinate amount of time reading reviews and debating which pencils to buy, just buy these. You will not be disappointed.
