Best Color Pencils

Perfect for any artist or even just coloring books
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils have so many different color options. They glide smoothly on the paper and are great for blending as well. I love that they come in little containers that you can easily stack or take on the go. You can also color one on top of another layer, but also blend well and easily with these colors.

They layer nicely without getting too waxy. The package is also very nice and lightweight to keep everything organized.

Smooth
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Colors are very bright. The pencils are light weight and it feels smooth on paper. The pencils are pointy but I recommend sharpening a bit for a better feel.

Awesome!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These color pencils are great! They’re vivid and strongly pigmented. I like how they glide on the paper - no skipping or broken lines. And the core doesn’t break easily, so I don’t worry about losing half of the pencil when sharpening.

Great Quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The POSCA 48-color pencil set is a vibrant, high-quality option for artists who love bold color and smooth performance. The pencils lay down rich, saturated pigment with minimal pressure, making them great for both detailed line work and expressive shading. The color range is impressive and thoughtfully curated, offering plenty of brights, neutrals, and deeper tones for blending and layering. They feel solid and well-made, sharpen cleanly, and perform especially well on mixed media and textured paper. Overall, this set delivers the dependable quality POSCA is known for and is a great choice for creatives who want professional-looking results with colored pencils.

POSCA is my new favorite arts and crafts supply sh
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these pencils! The packaging alone is great! Easy to take out and put away until I find a new place to store all my arts and crafts supplies. The pencils are smooth to use and the colors are bold! The tip doesn’t seem like I’ll need to sharpen it too often. It did not come with a way to sharpen them. I like that they’re break resistant and non toxic!! They work on many different canvas which is a plus and this kit came with 48 colors! Highly recommend checking this brand out.

Vibrant colors
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This set of colored pencils is very nice. You get a wide variety of colors to choose from. When you are drawing or writing with them, they glide over the paper like butter. They feel great in my hands when using them. I have not had to sharpen any yet so I can't speak about what it is like to resharpen them. They do double stack so that's nice, but however it would have been even better if they had covers. If anyone knows how to make them turn into covers please post how. The other issue I have with this set is, the pencils come out of their slots way too easy. They need to be more secure.

Beautiful, exquisite colors!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] (Thanks to Influenster and Posca for gifting me their 48 count colored pencil set for my honest review. ) Vibrant, hard cores that sharpen and don't break, elegant in both pencil and packaging, and the set is well rounded with colors. Excellent quality and the colors layer perfectly. These have become my favorite colored pencil set to create with and I will be recommending to everyone! So impressed with these!
