Black Edition Colour Pencils, Cardboard Wallet of 100

I already had the 36 set of these pencils, but when I saw the 100 set was out and HAD NUMBERS on them I decided to try them and I am so glad I did. I love everything about them. Soft, well pigmented and blending is effortless. It was so easy to sort them into blending tones in each colour. Ample greys for my needs (3 blending tones of both warm and cold greys), 6 pastel colours and 6 neon. You will need different storage cos the box provided is not really fit for purpose, but the pencils themselves are great. Sharpen well and no breakages. A really good buy.

Lovely sofy core, vibrant and good value

Amazing set of brilliant pencils

I ordered these because of a you tube demo and the fact they are Faber Castel. Initially it’s almost impossible to open the packaging without testing the case. Once opened it’s hard to close securely again. The idea of having a case where all the pens are upright on four corners of a square is revolutionary but due to flimsy cardboard just doesn’t work. Also the pencils are not in any sort of order which took an age to sort. These are all negatives but the actual pencils are very good. They blend well, they burnish well, they lay down good strong colour. They don’t break easily and the colours are great. They are very cheap considering they are Faber Castell and comparable to expensive ones of the same brand. With the money you save just buy yourself a decent pencil tin. NB. These were on sale (presumably through several sellers) as there were different prices quoted which were quite a bit more for the same number of pencils.

I really love these pencils. I was pleasantly surprised how well they laid down on the paper. Have had lots of fun colouring with the pencils, they are softer and creamier than I thought the would be. Would highly recommend

Good quality sharpen well lovely vibrant colours

Either I’ve received a bad pack or they’re not as described. They are said to be break resistant and they might be but the problem I have is the lead splitting! Once that happens it becomes a nightmare to sharpen them and the lead continuously falls out. I’m really disappointed as was looking forward to these and wouldn’t have paid as much as I did.

I love the colour you get from these pencils, blending is pretty much effortless. The Age range I would put them to are 15 years of age and up. Definitely value for money because Faber Castell’s pencils are expensive if you choice oils. The versatility makes them my number one choice. I’ve had some brilliant results using them
