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。 Read more

C'est un gros budget mais qui en vaut la peine. Les mines des crayons sont solides, les couleurs magnifiques et la boîte en bois très jolie. La boîte était bien emballée pour le transport. Je suis contente de mon achat. Read more

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. Read more

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. Read more

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!

Great pencils, just missing the 6 black set from the order. Amazon passes the buck to the seller. The seller passes the buck to the mfg. The mfg. passes the buck to Amazon. I’m out the $$, and nobody is willing to take responsibility. 1st and only issue with an Amazon purchase I’ve ever experienced. Read more

De Polychromos no hay mucho que decir que no se haya dicho ya. La experiencia ha sido espectacular, colores vibrantes y fáciles de mezclar. Un producto digno del reconocimiento que posee. El vendedor por otra parte es sencillamente legendario. Un pequeño error en el set nos dejó con dos lápices 151, y sin el lápiz 120. Tan pronto como me comunique con el vendedor expresando este pequeño detalle ofreció disculpas y un par de soluciones a nuestra elección. El producto es tan bueno que solo queríamos tener el set completo. El vendedor ha enviado el lápiz 120 faltante y aún así ha insistido en que conservemos el duplicado del 151. Sencillamente uno de los departamentos de atención al cliente más eficientes que existe. Les dejo una foto de un proyecto realizado con este set. Read more

This is like using oil paints but better. The eyes and lips came out a glossy oil finish when pressing hard. Beautiful in the light. The rest of the face I sketched lightly and it gives a bit of dust that you can blow away extra and then rub with finger for subtle shading. Then I used regular oil paints for large areas like the hair and clothing. But so nice that I have control over the eye area and no mess! Game changer for me. My first portrait. Now I'm not scared to do eyes anymore. I'm doing tons of portraits now. Yay! Read more

I loved my pencils an investment I’m glad I took the chance. They lay down very well. No crumbling. Beautiful Color’s. A dream come true. Thanks to my Hubble. I love them. I have numerous sets but this one is beyond compare. A dream come true Read more

I ordered the 36 count because I wanted quality pencils but the larger boxes were a bit beyond what I can afford right now. I love the texture and feel while drawing. They blend well and have wonderful color. I like that I can get fine details. They are beautiful and come in a sturdy box.!I highly recommend. Read more

After wasting too much money on cheap colored pencils trying to figure out what I like, I finally decided to go all in and get the best set-with a sturdy, stylish case. These pencils are awesome! You don’t need to press hard, the colors are super vibrant, and the dark ones are actually opaque. The wooden box arrived in perfect condition, with each pencil securely in place. The metal handle is really easy to carry, and the locks are solid, so nothing’s falling out. There’s also room for some pens, erasers, and other small supplies. I’d recommend this set for beginners who can afford it and for more experienced artists who want something both functional and good-looking. Definitely worth it! Read more
