Beautiful and creamy pencils at a great price
These pencils are so saturated and pigmented. I purchased the 150 set after hearing that all of the colors will soon be available open stock from art stores. I mostly use Faber Castell polychromos for sketching and art, but I noticed a lack of the more bright, fun colors that a lot of the student brands have. I did not want to sacrifice performance and it was also important to me that the colors are available open stock. This set includes 4 great and very bright lime greens (Pear, Key Lime, Citrus Yellow, Lemon Lime) which are the hardest to find in the more "serious" professional art brands. I'm sure it has to do with lightfastness and subject matter, but I plan on using these in coloring books and love using bright, pigmented colors. On pencil quality, they are slightly smaller in diameter to the average Derwent pencil. They feel in the hand similar to a modern Prismacolor. The paint on the barrel is matte and there were some more textured pencils that I noticed, but did not affect my ability to use them. I also noticed some with chipped paint and incomplete printing, but also did not affect my ability to use them. They are extremely blendable and quite soft and buttery (to me, compared to Polychromos and Arteza). When I was swatching them I do not recall any scratchy colors. I also used the Prismacolor colorless blender and they are the most easy to blend of all of my pencils. I actually have to be careful to not blend or smudge too much! This also means that I can color faster because I can put down a light layer of color on the page and very easily blend it out to get the full color coverage that I want. They're not watercolor pencils, but the effect of using the colorless blender pencil on a light layer was similar to activating a watercolor pencil in that you can get a lot of color coverage and it does change the look quite a bit. The Derwent colorless blender used on a blend of blue and yellow actually blended to a green, where the prismacolor blender just brightened the colors and softened the texture. Overall I am very happy with these pencils. I think they're a great value and there's an excellent color selection. I wish they were a tad bit harder, but I also realize I'm probably in the minority when I gravitate to harder pencils and anything softer feels too soft. I definitely recommend these for coloring book enthusiasts.

Chromaflow are AMAZING!
I purchased these pencils within days of their release. I paid 2x the current offering price, so I wanted to take that into consideration and give myself ample time to assess them properly so I can provide you with a fair and comprehensive review. The Chromaflow line was rumored to be Derwent's attempt to bring a Prismacolor dupe to their UK market, as the former were becoming more difficult to obtain across the pond. Some of you were a little salty about the heritage brand doing a first release in the States, understandably. A choice made, I think, with the best of intentions. They needed to test the pencils in a market familiar with the product they're trying to improve upon. (PC) Chromaflow feature a sleeker barrel than the chunky barrels we've grown accustomed to from Derwent. The pencils are extremely lightweight and elegant with matte black barrels. The gold lettering on the pencils make the text extremely easy to read. The capped ends feature an extremely accurate color representation making selection a breeze. The absolute standout feature of CF is an extremely smooth and even laydown. You can get very rich color payoff with the lightest of applications. These would be great for anyone with dexterity or mobility issues that make using garden-variety colored pencils challenging. I can't stress this next part to you enough. I never realised how much I needed a savory pencil before I had one. It's such a refreshing change to see the standard cream pencil transformed into PARMESAN. I think they're at an awesome price point now, but I'm evaluating them at the price I paid. Please make these available open stock and double the range. I love them! PROS: - rich color payoff with even a light application - easy to sharpen - holds a point longer than competition - fun pencil names - layer and blend seamlessly CONS (objectively) - soft texture could be a hindrance to those with a heavy hand. - not open stock (yet, I hope) - slimmer than the Derwent standard - a limited range compared to US competitor Buy these even if you "have enough pencils". Do not even hesitate if you don't have access to PCs. Treat yourself to a set of my new favorite Derwent pencils so together we may get more Parmesan into the hands and hearts of the those who need it!

Fantastic set of pencils
I have many sets of high quality pencils, but I’m loving these Derwent pencils too, especially when I saw that they were on sale! They lay down so smoothly. Hard to believe they’re a wax pencil. Only complaint I have is 2 of my pencils, the Jungle Green & Liquorice, seem to have bad breaks in the cores, because when I carefully sharpen them ( like I do with all of my pencils with a handheld sharpener ), and start to color with them, the whole top end breaks off & I have to re-sharpen again.. My Jungle Green is now easily half its original size! Other than that, the tips do last longer when sharpened and overall I am very happy with my latest Derwent purchase. I would highly recommend everyone to buy a set of these beauties!!

Smooth and Vivid Colors 💛
I really love these. They are smooth. I've been using Prismacolor for years. These are smoother and creamier than PC. My only complaint is there are enough browns. I use different shades of brown often. The pants in the image I shared was based with Ohuhu alcohol marker. Derwent Key Lime was layered on top. PC was layered for the top. Also Derwent has a lot less "fall-out" than PC, especially when more pressure is applied. I'm not sure what the term is but I hope you understand. I recommend these pencils. I also included the metallics on the swatch sheet. I'll definitely be trying other types of pencils from this brand. 💛

Decent pencils
Love Derwent pencils. My favorite was the coloursoft line.. sad it was discontinued. Chromaflow is a decent line, quality of pencils color wise seems to be good. However, I find these pencils break easily and have a hard time sharpening, regardless of how gentle I try to be.. it ate up my black pencil when trying to sharpen it, but the tip kept breaking off when I finally had gotten a tip.

I like the laydown of Chromaflow..smooth, very lightweight pencils, vibrant colors. I’m loving this!

Fabulous colour laydown and colours don't look too similar to each other. Looks even better with a burnisher pencil!

Chromaflow sind schlanke Stifte, 7,2mm mit einem 3,5 mm Kern, gesättigt mit Pigmenten. Sie sind Wachs basiert, im Auftrag glatt, cremig, soft, mischen sich nahtlos und decken Papierweiß komplett ab. Sie sind gut einsetzbar auf glatteren Papieren, was der Zielgruppe Malbuchartisten, Bastler und junge Künstler, auch Anfängern, entgegenkommt. Farb-Palette: Sie bieten einen Strauß knallbunter Farben, entgegen der üblichen Derwent Linie, die sich mit vielen gedämpften Farben an der Landschaftsmalerei orientiert. Die 'Liebe zum Garten' schimmert auch bei den Chromaflow durch, mit Farbnuancen, die sich an die Derwent Lightfast anlehnen. Es ist kein Set mit besonders vielen, attraktiven Hautfarben, aber sehr ausgewogen, auch mit ausreichend Natur- und Grautönen. Mir persönlich fehlt ein weiteres Rot Richtung Karmin oder Dunkelrot in dem Set. Sonst finde ich die Farbauswahl sehr gut. Gängige Vergleiche: Mir drängt sich jetzt kein direkter Vergleich mit Prismacolor auf, ebenfalls Wachsstifte, außer der, dass beide Stifte auf schwarzem/dunklen Papier vergleichbar stark deckend sind. Chromaflow haben ein sehr dunkles Schwarz und ein gut pigmentiertes Weiß. Coloursoft von Derwent sind weicher, aber zugleich auch trockener. Sie halten die Spitze nicht lange und spitzen sich schnell runter. Zum Ausmalen genutzt, finde ich sie echt mühsam. Chromaflow fühlen sich öliger an (gleitfähiger) . Man kann große Abschnitte erstellen, die Spitze hält sich gut. Sie bricht bei Druck nicht ab. Anspitzen Beim Anspitzen ist Vorsicht geboten. Ich hatte bei zwei Stiften Bruch. Das Holz ist fasrig, und dadurch relativ weich. Wäre es härter würde man vermutlich den weichen Kern beim Anspitzen ständig abbrechen. Ich kenne das Problem (Missverhältnis zwischen weichem Kern und harter Ummantelung) von den Spectrum Noir Colourblend, die mir beim Anspitzen oft gebrochen sind. Prismacolor brechen von Natur aus, Chromaflow nicht. Ich benutze Dahle 133 ohne Rücksicht auf Verluste (Kurbelmaschine, muss man öfters mal leeren). Mal-Gefühl: Chromaflow sind innerhalb der Derwent-Reihe eine völlig eigenständige Linie, was den Mix und das Malgefühl angeht. Wie alle guten Stifte lassen sie sich aber mit jedem anderen guten Stift mischen, egal ob auf Öl- oder Wachs-Basis. Vom Mal-Gefül her sind die Chromaflow ähnlich zu: Holbein (extrem teure Profistifte, Hybride halb Öl, halb Wachs, und Fett) oder auch den preiswerten 48-Goldfaber, der Studio-Linie von Faber Castell (Ölbasiert). Ich würde so sagen: Chromaflow sind Wachsstifte, die leicht wie Ölstifte übers Papier gleiten. FC Black Edition (mit bis 100 Stiften inkl Pastel, Fluo und Hautfarben, Ölbasiert) oder Black Widdow (Wachsbasiert) lassen sich mit Chromaflow mischen. Die beiden letzteren punkten nicht mit ganz so knalligen Farben. Black Widdow sind super beliebt für Malbücher, allerdings muss man sie aus diversen Kästen einsammeln, von denen immer der eine oder andere nie erhältlich ist. Chromaflow sind keine Duplikate von FC Black Edition oder umgekehrt. Es scheint nur so zu sein, dass beide Stifte zur selben Zeit mit kleinen Sets von 12 und 24 Stiften auf den Markt gekommen sind, um den Bedarf anzutesten (Indien und USA). Die Marktlücke war: weiche, bunte und vielseitig einsetzbare Stifte für jüngere Interessenten zu produzieren, also weg vom Profi-Produkt. Chromaflow packen sehr schnell viel Pigment aufs Papier, sind also nicht so mühsam, wenn man ein schnelles Ergebnis anstrebt, zu den Mal-Typen gehört, die mit Druck Pigment aufs Papier bringen. Andererseits: sie lassen sich layern und layern und layern... Deshalb drängt sich mir auch ein Vergleich mit Arteza Expert auf (Wachsbasiert). Knallige Farben, viel Pigment, gleiten leicht übers Papier. Gut deckend! was sie von meinen Lieblings-Brutfunern unterscheidet (Square, Wachsbasiert). Brutfuner, Import aus China, sind für Malbücher toll, aber weniger pigmentiert als Chromaflow. Fazit: Chromaflow sind mit 72 Stiften, Ladenpreis zwischen 120.- und 140.- Euro, relativ teuer. Chromaflow werden in England hergestellt, unterliegen der Derwent Qualitätskontrolle, haben Licht-Test-Rating (Liste/Chart der Stifte auf der Derwent-website). Sie werden einzeln zum Nachkauf angeboten (aktuell für 1,99 im Online Handel). Das sind Vorteile von Profi-Stiften. Ich habe die Stifte nirgendwo günstiger gesehen als auf Amazon, mit rund 76.- Euro im Angebot für 72. Meiner Ansicht nach wird bei Chromaflow nichts versprochen, was die Stifte nicht halten.
