Great product great price
The soft core allows for easy breakage but the formula allows for perfect layering and bledability. It’s also great that you are able to purchase individual pencils separately.

I used these all throughout high school and college and adore these!! A lot of other brands can be very chalky but these are so nice and buttery, and they blend like a dream!

Best pencils I have ever had!
These pencils are so buttery smooth, the colors are saturated, are easily blendable and can be layered easily! The white pencil also can be used and shows on top of other pencils, alcohol markers, etc. They may be a bit more expensive than "normal" colored pencils but well worth the investment!!!

Even though they are a little-bit pricey they are totally worth the splurge.
These color pencils are amazing, if you have the extra cash I highly recommend getting them. They color so smoothly and you can even blend them together easily. You barely have to use any pressure especially when you are trying to fade from one color to another. They are lightweight and can be sharpened to a fine tip which makes it easy for more complex artwork.

On the pricey side but worth it if your A artist a
High quality quality artiest grade set that is best suited for teens and adults who enjoy drawing seriously. Bright rich pigments, great for shading, soft tips can break easily if used roughly. Packaging is durable for the most part if your a fanatic at heart about drawing the price is good for what you get but their is cheaper.

They are overall great colored pencils!
I absolutely love these pencils! Very nice quality. The way they're assorted is a nice appearance. They sharpen really nicely. They don't break easy like the cheap colored pencils for kids. I love these and use them to draw on my canvases.

The best out there. Period.
Hands down the best colored pencils on the market. I used them as a teenager and now by them for my teen daughter. Wouldn’t buy any other brand. The way they shade and blend is second to none.

I like the colors
I really like how the color shows up on paper unlike other brands. The flow of the pencil is smooth and the pigment is very colorful. The pencil also lasts me very long and they don't break easily.

I absolutely love these
These prisoner, color pencils are literally the holy grail set of colored pencils. Not only do they pack an immense color inside of every project you do they have every shade of every color you could possibly need. It comes in a giant box which requires you to be able to take it anywhere and they sharpen a very very easily.

Top 1 pencils from artist to toddlers
I love this set. It has all the rich, creamy colors you could ever want in one place. Whether I’m blending soft gradients or layering bold, vibrant shades, these pencils always feel smooth and buttery on the page. The pigments are super rich, so even a light touch gives great color payoff. The range of 150 colors is amazing, I never feel like I’m limited, and it’s been so fun discovering new tones and combinations. They blend beautifully together, and I can create really professional-looking art without fighting the pencil. They’re a little softer than some other brands, so you want a good sharpener and a gentle hand, but that’s honestly part of what makes them so nice to use. If you’re into coloring, sketching, or serious art projects, this set is totally worth it. I grab these every time I want to relax and get creative!

Beautiful color range & durable
These are my favorite colored pencils I have ever used. The color range, ease of use and blendability are top of mind. They are easy to layer and build on color as well. I’ve used these for years and still have them!

Creamy and soft pencils
Great pencils! Easily create soft and dreamy sketches. Would use over many other brands. Not overly priced. Easy to sharpen. Feels good in your hand and comfortable to draw with.
