Polychromos® Artists' Color Pencils - Wood Case of 120

After wasting too much money on cheap colored pencils trying to figure out what I like, I finally decided to go all in and get the best set-with a sturdy, stylish case. These pencils are awesome! You don’t need to press hard, the colors are super vibrant, and the dark ones are actually opaque. The wooden box arrived in perfect condition, with each pencil securely in place. The metal handle is really easy to carry, and the locks are solid, so nothing’s falling out. There’s also room for some pens, erasers, and other small supplies. I’d recommend this set for beginners who can afford it and for more experienced artists who want something both functional and good-looking. Definitely worth it!

This is - by far - THE best colored pencils that I have ever used in my life! They are strong, yet smooth and soft... in other words, Goldielocks approved because they are not hard, they are not soft, they ARE "Just right". I don't think I will want any other kind of colored pencil, at least I cannot imagine wanting any other kind. Love these so much! Highly recommend. The barrel is a nice thickness, The case is both functional and pretty, and the size is perfect.

Love working with these colored pencils and this box is solid, making keeping the set together and organized by color easy. The set does take up a considerable space on my desk.

A quality case for a lifetime of use; just replace pencils as needed. The best quality pencils for drawing, journaling, art. A special present for a family member; I also have an older version of this product which she admired.

They come in a fantastic wooden box! Very Easy to use and the quality is fantastic as you would expect of faber castell! Blend well and very smooth! A great mix of the full set of polychrome pencils.

I spent far too much money on inferior products trying to figure out what I do and don't like about colored pencils so I decided to stop dilly dallying and buy the big mama-jama with the fancy schmancy case and be done!! Haha. Although I'm a newbie to adult coloring, I'm accustomed to Prismacolor Pencils and, while they're nice, I could immediately tell the difference in these just by the way they feel in my hand. They're heaven. They require a much lighter touch, they're much more pigmented, the dark colors are truly opaque and all colors are more vibrant. I'm still in the learning curve of shading and blending but already getting good results so its just a matter of getting aquatinted. All the leads are perfectly centered and these pencils KEEP THIER POINT MUCH LONGER than PC's, which means less sharpening and a longer lasting pencil. The wood box came perfectly packaged without a scratch. Each pencil is nestled snugly in its slot and you never have to worry about them becoming jumbled in transit. The metal carrying handle rotates within its rounded hinge, so your hand never slips. Even if you dropped it, the metal locks are sturdy and fool proof so random spillage seems unlikely. Twist til it clicks and that's that. There's 6 additional pencil/pen slots and 2 more cubbies (appx 5x2) for erasers and supplies. If I could add anything to this set it would be a paler shade of blue, green, pink and purple. If you're like me and would rather have them than blend them I'd recommend adding Prismacolor 1086 Light Sky Blue, 1089 Pale Sage, 1018 Pink Rose and 934 Lavender. (Polychromos 9201-119 Light Magenta is similar to Prismacolor Lavender but much more pink than purple) I've also heard that Prismacolor White (Blanc) 938 is superior to the Polychromos white but I can't tell you why. This seller only gives one free shipping option with no tracking. My package was ordered 7/5, shipped 7/6, estimated delivery to SC was 7/19 - 8/27 and arrived 8/3 if that helps you estimate. They seem to have the best price so for me, it was worth the wait. Overall, I'd recommend this set to newbies who have the money and don't care to make the mistakes I did and artists who want beautiful storage and sturdy transportation, all-in-one. Money well spent!

I have been wanting this set for many years. It was a bit more money than I was ready to pay out, but I wanted the wood case set for living permanently in my studio. When it arrived, it was delivered in a ridiculously large cardboard box. ( 24 inches by 36 inches by 24 inches) when I opened it, there was no supporting packaging surrounding the case other than some bubble type wrapping around it. I thought for sure the box would be cracked, or damaged! Fortunately, the box was intact. A real testament to the quality of this definitely hard wood case! Even so, the case is large. I would estimate almost 30 inches wide based on the desk I set it on to photograph. I will need to re think where in my studio this will live. It is considerably larger than my other wooden pencil storage systems my other brands live in. I was hoping to incorporate this case with them. The pencils themselves, are exactly as I had expected, and I am pleased!

Regular set of pencils. This is not the same as the celebration box. It is cheaper if you buy the separate boxes itself.

The quality of product is excellent❤

A few color pencils were missing from the set. Quite devastated as it was a birthday gift for my son and when we open the set, everyone were quite devastated. Given the item is quite expensive, appalled and shocked that the set wasn’t checked properly prior to shipping.

Çizim için kaliteli kalem arayan başka markaya bakmasın. Gerekirse küçük bir set alıp deneyin ama özellikle chromaflow vs. uzak durun. Lyra rembrant polycolor da kesinlikle faber castelin yanına yaklaşamaz. Hepsini denedim. Boşuna paranızı başka markalara harcamayın.

とても高品質な色鉛筆です。発色は品があり綺麗です。また混色をしてもテカらず、容易に色を混ぜ合わせることが出来ます。また芯を尖らせての細かい描写も可能で、柔らかさと固さのバランスが取れている色鉛筆だと感じました。 木箱はとても豪華です。120色がズラリと並んでいる様は圧巻で、見ているだけで幸せな気分になります。良いものを買うと創作意欲が掻き立てられます。木箱は場所を取ると言う人もいますが、二段式のため、3枚のプレートに分かれている缶タイプより、むしろ使い勝手がよく省スペースだと思います。 また、どなたかのレビューで「マイナーチェンジ後、色鉛筆のワックス分が増えて品質が落ちた」という書き込みがありましたが、メーカーに問い合わせたところ「色鉛筆に打刻してある文字等デザイン面の変更のみで、色鉛筆の成分などの変更はしていない」との回答でした。 実際、マイナーチェンジ前後の色鉛筆を使って比較してみましたが、特に違いは感じられませんでした。 木箱ケースがしっかりした造りで、ネットや画材店で色鉛筆のバラ売りもしているため、補充も可能で末永く使える商品だと思います。

Dream for any artist !!...... finally got one of my long lasting art supplies... packaging is fantastic, arrived early and colours are magnificent very soft and blentable and easy to use ... It's an expensive pencil but Got it in a steel deal ... These are oil based colours so good for details texture, and layering. Go for it if you have the budget for it... Loved it 😊❤️💖
