Great charcoal pencil for drawing and quick drawings. It's light, thinner for quick motion for quick sketches.

Cumple su cometido. Lo recomiendo

I bought this set as a treat for myself, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The pencils feel high quality right out of the tin - smooth to hold, with rich, vibrant pigments that layer beautifully on paper. They’re soft enough to blend easily (dry or with a damp brush) but not so crumbly that they break constantly like some pastels I’ve tried. The included sharpener works perfectly without wasting too much of the pencil, and the kneaded eraser and blending stump are such thoughtful extras. Even the tin feels sturdy and well organized, making it a pleasure to open up and choose colours. As someone who mainly works in watercolor, I didn’t expect to enjoy pastel pencils this much, but these have me completely hooked. I’ve already used them for adding fine details and soft backgrounds, and they play nicely with other mediums too. I would absolutely recommend this set to any artist, beginner or experienced.

These are my first (and go-to) pastel pencils. I find them easily blendable, not too soft, and the variety of colors suitable for all of my pet & wildlife portraits. I'm a beginner, but I'm still learning, and I will highly recommend getting a Prismacolor handheld (2-slot) pencil sharpener, and possibly a sharpening block..because I learned that if you try these with an electric sharpener, they will eat half the pencil and turn it to dust, as well as me up the sharpener. Filing it with a craft knife didn't work for me either. You don't need a really really sharp point anyway, because with too much pressure they'll break every time. No matter what I do, I so still have maybe two colors out of the entire set that break frequently, but that is most likely due to the pigment used. In any case, drawing with these pencils still gives me nice, fine details I want. They work best on Pastelmat and velour paper, but I've also used them on Bristol and Fabriano Titziano paper which worked out fine. Any paper smoother than those will smear and not blend as well. Highly recommend these pastel pencils!
