Like a little color
Like the colors but, aren't very smooth to work with and like a lead pencil they need a lot of sharpening the shaft away.

Very easy to shade and blend. I love them.
You will not be disappointed! I’m not sure why they received bad reviews. I found them very easy to work with. I absolutely love them. The sharpening aspect is a problem though. They never quite gave me a very sharp point and I tried 3 different sharpeners. They definitely captured the skin tones. The black seems to be a little weak but I believe that’s because I’m used to a extra soft black charcoal pencil which gives a darker, richer tone. Other than that I will definitely buy this again. I’m hoping they make more colors - blue, auburn, etc.

They are huge.
I sent these back. I know of no sharpener that it would fit in. You could sharpen with a blade I guess but, I would cut myself for sure. I scribbled with them and I wished I could have kept them. The colors were nice. My Daul sharpener wouldn't even take it.

Color choices are wonderful earth tones.
It is refreshing to find pencils with such a variety of real earth tones. I am working on blending these colored pencils into my water color pieces.I am a beginner but I ‘m taking the challenge.They are expensive.

Not so good.
The black in my set was hollow the first inch or so. Almost all were more difficult to sharpen than my MISULOVE pencils of which these are seemingly a remarketing of those. Tip: use the large hole sharpener and go ever so slowly watching for the point. Slowly and gently not forcing it. Colors are good once sharpened it’s just you may lose a lot of pencil before you have a blunt tip.
