Review: Don't clean it with rubbing alcohol!!!! - I have NEVER in my life seen paint rub off of a pencil! It came right off when I sanitized this with rubbing alcohol! NOTHING in America is made well these days... I have cracks all over my fingertips, so I sanitized it! But as for how well the pencil works - AMAZING! Just please use better paint on the dang thing in the future?????

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really great pencils to work with
*by P***J on April 4, 2023*

I purchased a full tin of these polychromos colored pencils to start doing some drawings with. These are very nice pencils. I don't need to use any fixative and the color won't fade. They are easily blended and layered. In my most recent drawing I used a total of 35 colored pencils in it, and didn't have any trouble blending any of them. However my new puppy got one of them and chewed a portion of one end and split the pencil up about an inch and a half. It was my cadmium yellow light. It is a beautiful yellow, one that I absolutely do not want to be without, so I ordered two more to replace what she chewed up. I have no regrets on the purchase of this set of polychromos colored pencils.
